What is the value of a coin from 1968 that says un centesimo on one side and urraca on the other?

Answer 1

You are asking about a 1 Centesimo coin from Panama (KM#22). The coin is 19.05mm in diameter, weighs 3.1 grams and is made of Bronze. The obverse (front) has a bust of Urraca (an indigenous Panamanian chieftain who fought against the Spanish conquistadors) with his name above. The reverse (back) has the denomination ("UN CENTESIMO", which is Spanish for "One Centesimo" - there are 100 Centesimos to the Balboa) with an arc of 9 stars above it and two sprigs of leaves below - above the stars are the words "REPUBLICA DE PANAMA" (Spanish for "Republic of Panama") and below the leaves is the date "1968". There were 25,000,000 of these coins produced for circulation in 1968, and another 23,000 in Proof for collectors.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, an example is worth US$0.25 in Very Fine condition, US$0.50 in Extremely Fine condition, US$2.00 in Uncirculated condition, US$3.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, and US$3.00 in Proof condition.

Answer 2

The coin is a one centesimo coin from Costa Rica, dated 1968. It features the image of an urraca bird on one side. The value of the coin can vary depending on its condition and demand from collectors, but it is typically worth its face value or slightly more to collectors.
