| Obverse description | Central field features a crowned eagle perched upon a cactus, facing right, in the style of the Mexican Empire coinage. The assayer's initials appear to the left of the eagle, with the denomination numeral and 'R' to the right. The design closely follows the provisional coinage type of the First Mexican Empire, adapted for Honduran provincial use. |

| Reverse description | Central device consists of a bold cross quartering the field, with alternating castles and rampant lions in the four quadrants, following the traditional Castile and León heraldic arrangement. A circular legend surrounds the entire device, with the mint name 'TEGUSIGALPA' and assayer initial 'LA' prominently inscribed, and the date '1823' appearing at the bottom of the legend. The overall design reflects the colonial Spanish cob-type heritage adapted for the early republican provisional coinage of Honduras. |
