Comment
These coins were minted to the specifications of the Latin Monetary Union.Interesting fact
The 1 Peso coin from Honduras, minted between 1888 and 1922, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of gold (0.900) and copper (0.100), it was designed with a unique blend of metals that gives it a distinctive rose-gold color. This coloration was achieved by intentionally adding a small amount of copper to the gold alloy, creating a subtle yet eye-catching effect that sets the coin apart from other gold coins of the time.
