REPUBLIC OF PANAMA.

The coinage of the Republic of Panama, which dates from 1904, is based on the gold Balboa of 1.672 grams and 900 thousandths fine. The actual coinage consists of silver and nickel. The silver Peso, which is equivalent in weight and fineness-25 grams, 900 thousandths fine-to the 5-franc piece of the Latin Monetary Union, is equivalent to one-half the gold Balboa. The small silver 1/20 Peso, or 21⁄2 centesimos de Balboa, was discontinued in 1907 because of its inconveniently small size, and a nickel piece of the same value substituted.
