Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Pesos coin from Honduras, made of copper in 1871, features a unique design element - a bare-breasted female figure representing liberty, which was a departure from the traditional depiction of liberty as a fully clothed female figure. This design choice was likely intended to symbolize the country's break from Spanish colonial rule and its embrace of independence.
