| 正面描述 | At center, the Honduran provisional coat of arms is depicted within a beaded circle: a triangle enclosing a volcanic mountain rising from the sea, surmounted by a radiant sun, and flanked by fortress towers at its base. Above the inner circle, an Ionic capital topped with a sheaf of wheat is displayed between two curved branches, with cornucopiae or floral sprays flanking the sides. The circular legend reading MONEDA PROVISIONAL DEL ESTADO DE HONDURAS arcs around the inner beaded border, with a small ornamental rosette at the base. The entire design is enclosed within a prominent milled outer rim. |

Honduras issued no regular 4 peso coinage in 1862, making this piece a pattern produced at Tegucigalpa specifically to test denomination and metal viability rather than fulfill any circulating requirement. The Casa Nacional de la Moneda was operating under considerable institutional strain in the early 1860s, with Honduran monetary policy caught between the practical demands of a commodity-scarce economy and the ambitions of a functioning national mint. Bronze was an unusual choice for a peso-denomination pattern in Central America at this date, where silver remained the expected standard.
