Obverse description Central field occupied by the Honduran national coat of arms, featuring a triangular cartouche enclosing a volcanic landscape beneath a rainbow, flanked by symmetrically arranged flags, cannons, quivers of arrows, and a Phrygian cap on a pike on each side. The arms are surmounted by a mural crown adorned with quetzal feathers, and the entire device is encircled by a wreath tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow, below which hangs a small medallion or order. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS runs within the wreath around the central escutcheon. The coin's periphery is bordered by a beaded rim.
