| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national arms of Honduras in the central field, heavily worn and partially obscured by the countermark applied to the host coin. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS runs along the periphery in Latin script. The design is typical of late 19th-century Honduran copper coinage, struck in a milled technique. Surface detail is significantly reduced due to wear and the application of the countermark. |

| 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. |
