| Comments |
The Estado de Honduras issued paper currency in the 1840s under conditions of chronic fiscal stress, with the central government struggling to maintain basic administrative functions after independence from the Federal Republic of Central America collapsed in 1839. A 100 Peso denomination at this date suggests emergency or quasi-treasury issuance rather than conventional banking — Honduras had no formal central bank in 1848.
Pick 6 is exceptionally rare in any condition. Few examples have been documented in major auction records.
