| Obverse description | Central field features the Panamanian coat of arms, depicting a quartered shield with crossed swords and rifle in the upper left, tools in the upper right, a landscape with the Panama Canal in the center, and a cornucopia and eagle in the lower quarters. A harpy eagle with outstretched wings surmounts the shield, flanked by national flags, with a scroll inscribed PRO MUNDI BENEFICIO across the eagle's breast. Nine five-pointed stars arc above the coat of arms in the upper field. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE PANAMA runs along the upper rim, and the date 2005 appears in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
The Puente del Rey, known in English as King's Bridge, dates to the Spanish colonial period and served as a critical crossing point on the Camino Real — the overland route used to transport Peruvian silver across the isthmus before it could be loaded onto ships bound for Spain. That a colonial-era bridge appears on Panamanian coinage reflects the country's ongoing effort to anchor national identity in pre-independence infrastructure rather than political figures. KM#136 is a relatively recent issue with no notable minting irregularities on record.
