This specimen was lot 1975 in Goldberg sale 93 (Los Angeles, September 2016), where it sold for $317.25. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Panama]]. 100 Balboas, 1979 Choice Brilliant Proof. Pre-Columbian Art - Golden Turtle. In original sealed cachet. Choice Brilliant Proof." This denomination was first used for medium gold commemoratives in 1975 and the Franklin Mint issued all of them until 1985. Unfortunately, collecting Panamanian coins lost its popularity after the Franklin mint overissued proof sets and commemoratives in the 1970's and 1980's. Today, few Panamanian coins sell for more than melt.

''Recorded mintage:'' 50 matte proofs, 240 uncirculated plus 4,829 proofs.

''Specification:'' 8.16 g, .900 fine gold, .2361 troy oz AGW.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-60.
