Comment
These coins were minted to the specifications of the Latin Monetary Union.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Centavos coin from Honduras (1883-1899) is that it was minted with a unique blend of metals, consisting of 90% silver and 10% copper. This combination was chosen to create a durable and long-lasting coin that could withstand heavy use in circulation. The use of silver also gave the coin a distinctive brightness and shine, making it easily recognizable and attractive to users. Despite being made of a relatively small amount of silver, the coin still holds significant numismatic value today, with collectors seeking out rare and well-preserved examples.
