Countermark "2" on KM#46 1 Centavo 1898Interesting fact
The 1898 Honduran 2 Centavos coin is a rare and unique coin that features a counterstamp, which is a stamp or marking that is applied to a coin after it has been minted. The counterstamp on this coin is a Type 1 counterstamp, which is a specific type of counterstamp that was used in Honduras during the late 19th century. The counterstamp features the letters "R.F." (República de Honduras) and a small shield, which signifies that the coin was issued by the Honduran government. The presence of this counterstamp makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors and numismatists.
