Honduras switched its note contracts to Thomas De La Rue in the early 1990s after years of production by the American Bank Note Company, and this 1994 1 Lempira belongs to that transitional period. The lempira itself was named after the sixteenth-century Lenca chieftain who led prolonged resistance against Spanish forces before his death around 1537 — making the denomination one of the few in Central America named explicitly for indigenous resistance rather than a colonial or republican figure.
De La Rue's security thread placement on this series is embedded rather than windowed, a specification that was already being phased out on higher-denomination notes by the mid-1990s.
