Panama Coin ?

[widgee]

Found a 1930 Panama Coin. I think it is silver ?
While trying to gather info on the coin I run into places where the coin
is refferred to as a Balboa sometimes 1/10 or 1/4 , but when I look at the pictures
I can't see any difference. ANyone know what the fractions mean and what fraction goes with the coin I found ?
I know little about coins, any info you all may have would be appreciated.
Thanks.... JFS

It is coin silver . Yours is a 10 cent coin I think as pictured in list dated 1930. 4th coin down.

Interesting to note the Panama dime was the size of our (US) 25 cent coin.

the USA mint made the panamaian money --so its not too surprizing the similar size . it traded on par with the us dollar during the gold standard years -- the 1930 quarter was standard size -- it was 90% silver -- the gr250 means 2 1/2 grams -- and so forth-- gr 500 would be 5 grams ---and so on
