Interesting fact
The 4 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 image of a crowned eagle on the other. This coin was used as standard circulation currency in Honduras during its time and is now considered a collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
