| Additional information |
Honduras adopted a decimal coinage system in 1879, and the silver issues that followed were tied directly to the country's chronic fiscal instability throughout the 1880s and 1890s — a period marked by successive governments struggling to maintain parity with Central American trading partners. The Tegucigalpa mint, reopened specifically to support the new decimal system, produced these pieces intermittently rather than annually, which accounts for the uneven date distribution across the type's sixteen-year run.
Certain dates within this series are genuinely scarce in any grade, the result of suspended mint operations during political upheaval rather than collector attrition.
