| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central design features the arms of Honduras within a raised inner circle: a triangular mountain rising from a coastal landscape flanked by two fortified towers, with a radiant sun emerging from behind the peak. Above the shield a mural crown is displayed, and the entire composition is framed by two branches — one bearing fruit clusters on each side — evoking abundance. The encircling legend reads MONEDA PROVISIONAL DEL ESTADO DE HONDURAS separated by a raised dot at the base, with the entire design enclosed within a toothed or beaded border. |

Honduras struck provisional copper coinage in 1862 during a period of chronic silver shortages and political instability that plagued Central American states throughout the post-independence decades. Copper issues from this government were stopgap measures, never intended as permanent monetary infrastructure, and circulated under conditions that left most examples heavily worn or corroded.
KM#25 survivors in any collectible state are genuinely scarce — not from low mintage records, which are poorly documented, but from the brutal tropical climate and the coin's utilitarian copper composition.
Wait — I used "utilitarian." Rewriting:Honduras struck provisional copper coinage in 1862 during a period of chronic silver shortages and political instability that plagued Central American states throughout the post-independence decades. Copper issues of this type were stopgap measures, circulating under conditions — heavy humidity, rough handling — that destroyed most examples.
Mintage figures for KM#25 are poorly documented. Survivors in any collectible state are genuinely scarce, and surface integrity is the primary variable separating catalog examples from the majority of known pieces.
