| Additional information |
A mule pairs dies not intended for use together, and this Honduran centavo is a documented example — struck with mismatched obverse and reverse dies from different nominal pairings during a period when the Tegucigalpa and contracted foreign mints showed inconsistent quality control over their working die inventories. Honduras relied heavily on outside minting during the 1890s, farming work to firms in Europe and the United States, which created exactly the conditions under which undetected die substitutions occurred.
KM#61 is scarce precisely because mules rarely survive official inspection in quantity.
