Comment
These coins are made to the specifications of the Latin Monetary Union.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Centavos coin from Honduras made of Silver (.835) weighing 2.25g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1878, and its production was discontinued in 1879, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
