Interesting fact

The 4 Reales coin from Honduras, issued between 1856 and 1857, features a unique design element - a small image of a mountain range, known as the "Cordillera de Tela," on the reverse side. This subtle detail signifies the country's rich natural resources and geographical diversity, including the mountain range that runs through the northern part of Honduras.
