| Obverse description | Central shield displaying the Honduran national arms: a triangular cartouche surmounted by a radiant all-seeing eye above a volcanic landscape flanked by sailing vessels, the whole draped with a decorative cloth mantle tied at the base. The engraver's signature BARRE appears in the lower exergue. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS is inscribed along the upper periphery, with AMERICA CENTRAL along the lower periphery, both separated by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Honduras experimented with copper-nickel coinage in the late 1860s as part of broader Central American discussions about standardizing regional currency, but the proposals never advanced to circulation. This pattern was never adopted, and Honduras continued relying on imported and countermarked coinage for everyday transactions well into the following decade.
KM#Pn7 survives in very small numbers, as pattern strikes of this era were produced in minimal quantities for governmental or ministerial review.
