| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of Honduras dominating the central field, depicting a triangular mountain landscape within an oval cartouche encircled by the legend REPUBLICA DE HONDURAS. The arms are flanked on each side by two cornucopiae and two standing Liberty figures wearing Phrygian caps, with crossed cannons, rifles, and flags radiating outward in a symmetrical heraldic arrangement. A mural crown surmounts the shield at the apex. The date 1871 appears beneath the central shield in the lower field. The entire design is framed by a finely toothed border. |

| Additional information |
Honduras issued no regular 50 centavos coinage in 1871 — this pattern exists in the context of an attempted monetary reorganization that largely stalled before reaching full production. Pattern strikes from Central American republics of this period were frequently produced in multiple metals to present options to government officials, which accounts for the parallel Pn16 entries under the same KM reference cluster.
