The Federal Republic of Central America was itself barely functional during these years — a loose union of former Spanish provinces that achieved independence in 1821 and spent the following decade in near-constant civil conflict between Liberal and Conservative factions. Honduras was among the least stable member states, and coins struck at the Tegucigalpa mint during this window reflect that instability in their frequently crude execution. The assayer system inherited from Spanish colonial practice continued, but quality control did not.
The republic formally dissolved in 1839, making this a remarkably short-lived issuing authority — the entire coinage history spans under two decades.
