“The stamp shows the eruption of the Momotombo volcano in 1902. Initially there were plans to build a canal through Nicaragua. But these stamps were mailed to the US senate members and they decided to build it through Panama instead”
The creation of the canal led to Panama adopting the present coat of arms depicting the canal in the centre with the motto “Pro Mundi Beneficio” – ‘ For the benefit of the world’ .

Nicaragua and Panama (then part of Colombia) were the two places considered for the construction of Panama Canal. Some senators used the stamp of Nicaraguan volcano to successfully lobby against Nicaragua.
The coat of arms should therefore be that of Panama.
