The earliest known F5 cover from Panama bears the number 3182 and has an indistinct May date.

In mid-April 1902, due to currency inflation, the fees for Registration and AR (Advice of Receipt) were increased to 20 cents and 10 cents, respectively.

The earliest known cover with a Panama F5 stamp is numbered 3182 and has an indistinct date from May of that year. By examining cover dates from December and January, as well as a September 1, 1902 cover, it can be determined that the earliest used single Panama F5 stamp is #3085, dating back to this period.
