The composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with the entire reverse maintaining a straightforward heraldic and typographic layout characteristic of Central American provisional coinage of the period.

Aanvullende informatie

Honduras struck this copper peso during a period when silver shortages made fractional coinage nearly impossible to maintain in circulation. The Tegucigalpa mint — operating under chronic resource constraints throughout the mid-nineteenth century — issued these provisionals as a stopgap, acknowledging openly in their designation that the pieces were temporary. Few Central American mints of the era admitted as much on the coins themselves.

KM#24 survivors in any condition above heavily corroded are genuinely scarce. Copper coinage from Tegucigalpa circulated hard in a cash-poor economy.
