Comment
These coins were minted to the specifications of the Latin Monetary Union.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1894-1896 Honduran 1 Peso (Mule) coin is that it features a unique blend of both Spanish and indigenous influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a liberty cap, which was a common symbol of freedom and independence in Latin America during the 19th century. However, the reverse side of the coin features a depiction of a mule, which was a symbol of strength and hard work in the indigenous culture of Honduras. This blending of cultural symbols reflects the complex history and heritage of Honduras during this time period.
