Interesting fact
The 1910-1913 Honduran 2 Centavos coin is considered a rare and unique coin among collectors due to its status as a "mule" coin. A mule coin is a coin that has been struck with the dies of two different years, in this case, 1910 and 1913. This error occurred when the mint accidentally paired the obverse die of 1910 with the reverse die of 1913, resulting in a coin with a mismatched date. This mistake makes the coin particularly valuable and sought after by collectors.
