My best guess is that your coin is a one-half ("medio") balboa piece from Panama. Panamanian balboas track the U.S. dollar on a one-for-one basis and are struck on the same planchets. Your 1966 coin was thus struck on the same 40% silver blank used for Kennedy halves of the time, so it would be worth $3 or $4 for its metal content.
The Balboa is the same as the US dollar. We know that US silver dollars is worth more as the Panama silver Palboa. In Panama the currency is US but there are Balboa dollar coins. Also, the silver coins in Panama are the same size as the US coins and would be worth more as the US silver coins.
The value of a 1930 Medio Balboa coin can vary depending on its condition and rarity. Generally, these coins can range in value from around $10 to $50 USD. It is recommended to have the coin appraised by a professional or consult numismatic resources for a more accurate valuation.
This is a Half Balboa ("Medio" is Spanish for "Half") coin from Panama (KM#12b).

This Panama 50 centesimos (1/2 Balboa) contains .3617 of an ounce of silver. Depending on amount of wear and collector demand it may be worth about $5 with heavy wear to around $10 with moderate wear to maybe $30 with light wear. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info. Brad
The Panamanian balboa trades at par with the U.S. dollar. Assuming your 1/4-balboa coin is from general circulation, it's thus worth 25 cents. For further clarification, the Balboa is equivalent to $1.00 (USD). The coin was minted in either Denver or San Francisco
It is a quarter of a Balboa, the unit of currency in Panama.
If it is silver dollar sized then a Panama 1 Balboa coin contains .7735 of an ounce of silver and may be worth up to about $20 depending on amount of wear and collector demand. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
The Franklin Mint 1975 100 Balboa Proof First day Issue in Blue Cache and Certificate of authenticity which is 8.16 grams of 900/1000 Fine Gold is worth approx. $250.00.
"un decimo de balboa" means "a tenth of the Panamanian currency the balboa".The balboa of Panama is linked to the dollar, a decimo is worth exactly one U.S. dime.
