In 1931, the government of Honduras reformed the currency. The peso was dropped and the lempira adopted, with the exchange rate fixed at US$1 = 2 lempiras. In the 1970's, one, two, five and ten centavos coins were issued in bronze and bronze clad steel. The five centavos shown was part of this series. Per xe.com, the exchange rate in 2007 was about US$1 = 19 lempiras; the rate is now (July 2017) about US$1 = 23.4 lempiras.
