Since its beginnings in 1896, the modern Olympic movement has given rise to a number of multi-sport regional championships endorsed by the International Olympic Committee, where national teams of athletes showcase peak athletic achievement in the quest for a place in the Olympic Games. The oldest of those regional events is the Central American and Caribbean Games, which began in 1926 as the Central American Games with three competing countries. The eleventh such games were hosted in Panama City in 1970, featuring twenty countries in sixteen sports and a total of almost 2,100 athletes. The Republic of Panama celebrated the event with a gorgeous silver commemorative coin: the 1970 Proof 5 Balboas Silver Coin, now available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Featuring artwork by Gilroy Roberts — the United States’ ninth Chief Engraver — and struck at the Franklin Mint, the silver coin created to mark the occasion of the 11th Central American and Caribbean Games pays particular tribute to the Classical Greek origins of the Olympic movement. The discus thrower that adorns it is based on ancient Greek statuary, and the coin as a whole features a cameo finish with mirrored fields and frosted details on the raised elements of the design.
The 1970 Proof 5 Balboas Silver Coin ships in a protective plastic flip-top container that preserves its extraordinary luster and visual appeal. Each shipment is tracked and fully insured against any chance of loss or damage by the team at JM Bullion. The original limited mintage was just 59,000 pieces, and the modern supply is even more exclusive.
The coin’s obverse side features the coat of arms of the Republic of Panama to confirm it as legal tender. This is accompanied by the lettering “REPUBLICA DE PANAMA,” “PRO MUNDI BENEFICIO,” “LEY 0.925 FM” and “5 BALBOAS.”
Gilroy Roberts’ graceful discus thrower design dominates the reverse. It is accompanied by the lettering “XI JUEGOS DEPORTIVOS CENTRO AMERICANOS Y DEL CARIBE” and “PANAMA 1970.”
