| Obverse description | Central vignette of a portrait of Vasco Núñez de Balboa (c. 1475–1519), the Spanish explorer and conquistador who in 1513 became the first European to lead an expedition sighting the Pacific Ocean from the New World. The portrait is framed by intricate guilloche patterns and the note bears the issuing authority's legend across the face in letterpress. Denomination numeral and title text appear in the surrounding border design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green, dominated by dense guilloche latticework filling the entire field. At center, the national coat of arms of Panama is set within an elaborate geometric underprint, flanked symmetrically on either side by the large numeral '1' and the word 'UN' in bold block lettering. The legend 'REPUBLICA DE PANAMA' arches above the coat of arms, with 'UN BALBOA' in bold text below. |
