Notes from the 1941 Panama series are scarce due to notes being in circulation for the time span of about a week, due to a coupe against President Arnulfo Arias by the police. Arias reformed the banking system allowing for official and private banks to issue currency, although only one bank would go on to issue currency, the Banco Central de Emision de la Republica de Panama. Once Arias was overthrown and ousted, the notes were withdrawn from circulation and were promptly collected and destroyed, leaving collectors with examples saved by those Panamanians whom did not redeem them or tucked them away for future posterity.
Estimate: $6000.00- $12000.00
