This type is listed in the SCWC for 1910-11. Numerous varieties exist, depending on what dies were being reused to strike the coin. This type was struck using old half centavo dies; KM 66 was struck using recycled five centavo dies. In 1931, Honduras abandoned the peso, closed her mint and introduced the lempira, minted under contract in Philadelphia. The second specimen was lot 45386 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Oklahoma City, OK, August 2025), where it sold for $312. The catalog description[1] noted, "HONDURAS. Centavo, 1910/5. NGC MS-63 Brown. Overdate variety struck with 1/2 Centavo dies."
Recorded mintage: 410,000 (including KM 66 and KM 67).
