Comment
Counterstamped "2" on KM#46 1 Centavo 1889Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos coin from Honduras, minted in 1889, has an interesting feature. It has a countermark, which is a secondary marking or stamp that was added to the coin after it was minted. In this case, the countermark is a Type 3 mark, which is a small letter or symbol that was stamped onto the coin to indicate that it was issued by a specific bank or financial institution. This feature makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors who specialize in numismatics, as it provides a unique piece of history and provenance.
