This specimen was part of lot 2033 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 39 (Winter Park, FL, May 2026), where it did not sell.

The peso was dropped in favor of the lempira in 1931. The lempira was pegged at US$0.50, making this coin worth a quarter. In fact, these were struck in Philadelphia on quarter blanks.
