Additional information

A mule in the traditional numismatic sense — two dies not intended to be paired used together in production — this piece combines dies from different denominations or issues, a known occurrence at the Tegucigalpa mint during this period when die management was inconsistent and outside contractors occasionally supplied mismatched equipment. Honduran copper minors from 1910–11 are poorly documented in the standard references, and KM#67 itself acknowledges the mule status without fully resolving the die attribution question.
