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 United Provinces of Central America in 1824. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Honduran history, and its silver content makes it a sought-after collector's item.
