I always wondered what this huge coin from Panama was made for. They did have baccarat games in Panama and the casinos were state-owned. Do you suppose they could have been used as "plaques" on the tables. There was a 5 Balboa chip to pay the commission on a 20 Balboa bet.

In the 70's, the Panamanian Balboa and the US$ were at parity.

The 20B weighs 4.24 troy ounces and is .925 silver.

I have the Unused 20B coin (plaque) for sale if you'd like one... $120 delivered.

The 5B chip from El Panama is available for $15 and is the only marked baccarat chip design I've seen from Panama.
