| Reverse description | The left-facing bust of Lempira, the celebrated 16th-century Lenca chieftain and national hero of Honduras, dominates the central field. He is depicted wearing a traditional feathered headdress with two elongated plumes and a woven garment, rendered in fine relief with careful attention to ethnographic detail. The denomination legend 50 CENTAVOS DE LEMPIRA arcs along the upper periphery, while the FAO commemorative inscription PRODUZCAMOS MAS ALIMENTOS curves along the lower field. The design is framed by a beaded border, and the overall composition reflects the FAO World Food Programme's promotion of increased agricultural production. |
