Additional information

A mule combines dies not intended to be paired — in this case, obverse and reverse dies from different denominations or issue years pressed together, almost certainly the result of a error at the Birmingham Mint, which supplied much of Central America's coinage during this period. Honduras had no domestic minting capacity in 1910, leaving die management entirely in British hands.

KM#65 is sparsely documented, and confirmed examples are genuinely scarce.
