| 正面描述 | The Honduran national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a triangular mountain landscape within an oval cartouche encircled by the legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS. The arms are elaborately supported by cannons, rifles, and flags arranged symmetrically on either side, surmounted by a radiating quetzal and a mural crown at the apex. A decorative wreath of oak and laurel frames the lower portion of the shield, tied with a ribbon bow at the base from which a small decorative cross pendant is suspended. The date 1871 appears in the exergue below the central cartouche. The entire design is struck in high relief with fine detail characteristic of a pattern or proof striking. |

Honduras in 1871 was in the early years of post-Central American Federation independence, still working out the mechanics of a stable national coinage. Pattern strikes from this period were often produced to test proposed denominations that never entered circulation, submitted for government approval or sent abroad to foreign mints seeking contracts. KM#Pn17 is catalogued as a pattern, meaning no circulation issue of this type followed.
Copper was the standard material for proof-of-concept strikes when silver or gold would have been wasteful for unapproved designs.
