| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length vignette of Lempira standing with bow in hand, identified by the epithet "Señor de la Sierra," set within a stylized mountainous landscape representing Erandique Mountain interwoven with indigenous geometric patterns. Two facing profiles, inspired by Honduran banknote designs of 1951 and 1980, flank the central composition. The institutional seal of the Asociación Numismática de Honduras, incorporating elements of the Honduran flag, appears alongside the designer's credit. |

Issued by Honduras's numismatic association to mark a century since the lempira replaced the peso in 1931, this is a fantasy note — it carries no legal tender status and was never authorized by the Banco Central de Honduras. The denomination "100 Macaos" is a collector fiction; the real macao is an old colonial-era copper coin of negligible value, long out of use, chosen here presumably for its historical resonance rather than any official standing.
Polymer substrate on a privately commissioned piece of this kind is unusual and points to a deliberately premium production run aimed squarely at the souvenir market.
