Interesting fact
The Pattern 25 Centavos coin from Honduras, minted in 1871, is a unique and rare piece due to its gold plating on a copper base. This coin was part of a pattern series that was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists. Its value lies not only in its rarity but also in its historical significance, offering a glimpse into Honduras' economic and political history during the late 19th century.
