Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos (Mule) coin from Honduras, minted between 1907 and 1908, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small image of a mule on the reverse side, which is where it gets its nickname "Mule" from. This design was added to the coin to commemorate the importance of mules in Honduran agriculture and transportation at the time.
