Honduras adopted copper-nickel for this denomination in the early 1930s as silver became economically impractical for small circulation coinage — a shift made across much of Latin America during the same decade under pressure from collapsing commodity prices and U.S. monetary policy reverberations following 1929. The type ran with remarkable continuity for over sixty years, surviving multiple constitutional crises, the 1969 Football War with El Salvador, and successive military governments without a redesign.
Late-date examples from the 1980s onward frequently show significant die fatigue, a predictable consequence of extended production runs with minimal tooling renewal.
