First European in the Pacific<\/p>\n

became the first European in history<\/p>\n

The currency of Panama is named after the Spanish conquistador.<\/p>\n

words on all coins.<\/p>\n
The reverse depicts portraits of a freedom fighter<\/p>\n
from the indigenous peoples of Urraca (c. 1490\u20131531),<\/p>\n
