Comments

The Gobierno Provisional de Honduras issued this note during a period of acute political instability following the mid-1860s conflicts that repeatedly disrupted Central American governance. Provisional administrations by definition lacked the institutional permanence of an established treasury, which makes any surviving paper from this issuer genuinely rare — most provisional-era Honduran notes either circulated into destruction or were voided and pulped when governments changed hands.

Pick 7B is one of the scarcest entries in the entire nineteenth-century Honduran series. Documentation on exact print runs and redemption history is thin, and the issuing authority itself had a short operational window.
