Dug this coin up of all places in a little town of Sheboygan , Wisconsin yesterday.. Have no idea if it is worth anything.. Maybe someone else found one like this.. Any help would be appreciative.
Thanks for looking at it Shane

hospital de ninos = childrens hospital built in 1958 --50th anniversay -2008

the under words translates into -- I want to see you grow * (expand) as in---we the people of panama -- want to see you grow into even bigger & better childrens hospital

its 1/4 th OF BALBOA -- ROUGHLY EQUAL TO A 25 cent coin

during US control of the canal zone -- 1 balboa = 1 US dollar
 
Shane, 10-to-1, you found a coin brought home by a US Service -man or -woman from your area. Could have been lost, could have been tossed with a wish. Pretty cool!
