La Ceiba is a Banana Company town near the Caribbean Seacoast in the North of Country. Minted in the civil war between the government and Cuyamel Fruit Company.Interesting fact
The A Token 1⁄2 Real (Necessity coin - La Ceiba) 1911 from Honduras made of Brass is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of economic crisis in Honduras. The coin was made of brass, a cheaper metal, due to a shortage of silver and gold coins. Despite its low value, the coin played an important role in the economy of Honduras during that time.
