Interesting fact

The 2 Reales coin from Honduras, made of silver in 1823, is interesting because it was issued during the country's brief period of independence from Spain. Honduras declared independence from Spain in 1821, and this coin was minted in 1823, just two years before Honduras joined the Central American Federation in 1824. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Honduran history, reflecting the country's short-lived independence and its transition towards a unified Central American identity.
