Comment
Despite the monetary law of 1879, these coins weighed 3g rather than 4.5g.Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Honduras, made of Copper and weighing 3 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. Despite the challenges, the coin was widely used and remained in circulation for over 20 years, indicating its importance in the daily lives of the Honduran people during that period.
