| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS (Translation: Republic of Honduras) |
| Reverse description | The reverse bears an applied countermark consisting of a decorative floral or ornamental device — likely a rosette or liberty cap motif — punched into the central field, accompanied by the date 1896 inscribed below the countermark. The host coin's original reverse design is largely obscured by heavy wear and the depth of the applied countermark. The countermark is characteristic of the Type 2 variety used by Honduras to validate or revalue circulating copper coinage during the late 19th century. |
