Balboa and the other (Conquistadors) obviously used regular issue Spanish currency such as the famed (pieces of eight) eight reales- the so-called Spanish ( later Mexican and other Spanish colonies and ex-colonies) eight real coin. These widely circulated among such piratical types- hence often found in Pirate wrecks, etc. Pieces of Eight! squawk! eight reales made a Peso- or dollar equivalent. Balboa was credited with the (Discovery) of the Pacific Ocean. he was eventually executed on charges of fraudulent trading ( Piracy!). Many years ago one of the cereals did a sort of cut-out cardboard series on famous and infamous pirates and buccaneer types- and Senor Balboa led the list. In his honor the Panamian coin, bearing a bust of the Conquistador in knightly helmet- is called the Balboa.
