Interesting fact
The 1912 Honduras 2 Centavos coin features a unique countermark, known as the "Type 3" countermark, which was applied to the coin by the Honduran government in 1912. This countermark is a small circular stamp that was applied to the coin's obverse, and it features the letters "RH" (República de Honduras) surrounded by a wreath. The countermark was used to validate the coin's authenticity and to indicate that it was issued by the Honduran government. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists, as it adds an extra layer of history and authenticity to the coin.
