50 Centavos

Honduras struck this series sporadically across two decades, with production clustered around years when export revenues from banana contracts — largely controlled by United Fruit and Standard Fruit — gave the government enough hard currency reserves to justify silver coinage. Several dates within the run are genuinely scarce, the result of interrupted minting rather than any deliberate policy. The 1951 issue closed the series as Honduras moved toward lower-cost alloys in the following decade.
