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. A new series of coins were issued, a silver lempira (shown here), fifty centavos, twenty centavos and copper-nickel five and ten centavos. Bronze one and two centavos were added later. The new coins marked the first new issues since the early 1920's; all were minted outside the country and the old mint in Tegucigalpa closed for good.
Recorded mintage: 4,000,000 (most common date).
Specification: 12.5 g, 0.900 fine silver, .361 troy oz ASW.
Catalog reference: KM 75.
