| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national Coat of Arms of Honduras occupies the central field, depicting an oval shield enclosing a landscape with mountains, a rising sun, and wavy lines representing the sea, flanked by two Quetzal birds perched atop cornucopias, with a quiver of arrows at the base and a Honduran pine tree rising above. The shield is surmounted by a radiating triangle. The circular outer legend reads 'REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS' along the upper periphery, with the mint year prominently displayed at the bottom. The entire design is bordered by a beaded inner rim. This variety is distinguished by a larger outer legend and the absence of clouds above the mountains within the shield. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honduras switched this denomination from cupronickel to brass during the mid-1970s as global copper and nickel prices made the older alloy economically impractical for low-value coinage. The transition coincided with a period of military governance under General Melgar Castro and later Policarpo Paz García, when managing state expenditures — including mint costs — carried real political weight.
The 76.1a designation separates this brass issue from its cupronickel predecessor in the KM sequence.
