2-cent Balboa
The 2-cent Balboa stamp portrays explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa (1475-1517) claiming the Pacific Ocean for Spain. It was ABNCo order F 4244, which is engraved in the selvage at the top of each sheet. From the archives of the ANBCo sale we now know that the printing date was June 19, 1914. The Canal Zone ordered 100,000 copies of this stamp.
