| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely uniface, presenting a completely plain, unadorned field with no design, legend, or device of any kind. This blank reverse is a defining characteristic of this piefort pattern piece, struck from a single obverse die without an opposing reverse die, consistent with the uniface piefort format used for trial and pattern coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Uraca series of Panamanian patterns commemorates the Ngäbe chieftain who led sustained resistance against Spanish colonial forces in the early sixteenth century. This piefort — struck at roughly double the standard planchet thickness — was produced as a presentation or archival piece, not for circulation consideration. Panama's pattern coinage of the early 1980s was largely driven by Franklin Mint contracts, and the uniface reverse format here reflects an experimental striking sequence rather than a finished design proposal.
