| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stepped pyramid with an arched entrance at its base, rendered in fine relief and enclosed within a raised inner circle. The pyramid rests on a ground line above a small decorative element at the bottom of the inner circle. The circumferential legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS runs around the periphery between the inner circle and the milled border, with denticles visible along the outer rim. The overall design is bold and emblematic, characteristic of Central American republican coinage of the early twentieth century. |

The patriotic motto PAZ * PROGRESO * I * LIBERTAD (Peace, Progress and Liberty) is inscribed around the wreath, with the date 1910 positioned at the bottom. The entire design is contained within a beaded or denticled border consistent with the milled coinage style of Honduras during this period. |

| Additional information |
KM#68 is a mule — a coin struck from dies that were never intended to be paired together. Honduras contracted much of its minor coinage production to foreign mints in the early twentieth century, and mismatched die combinations occasionally slipped through, whether by accident or expediency. The specific obverse-reverse pairing here is what separates this piece from the standard 1910 centavo issue and accounts for its separate catalog listing entirely.
