Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from Honduras, issued in 1830, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins that were minted during the Federal Republic of Central America, which was a short-lived political entity that consisted of several Central American states that had gained independence from Spain. This coin, made of silver, has a unique design and is a rare piece of numismatic history.
