Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Honduras, minted between 1823 and 1824, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for currency at the time. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with the Honduran coat of arms on one side and the Spanish king's name, Ferdinand VII, on the other. This coin was used during a time of great change in Honduras, as it was transitioning from a Spanish colony to an independent nation. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into Honduras' rich history and cultural heritage.
