Comments

Lempira, the present currency of Honduras, was introduced in 1931 replacing the Peso. The Lempira is divided into 100 Centavos.

The currency is named after Lempira, a chieftain of the indigenous Lenca people, who waged war against the Spanish occupation of the country during the 16th century. He is revered as a national hero.

The image on the reverse of this coin is of Lempira.

Coins dated 1991 through 2007 are composed of 90% Steel and 10% Nickel. Coins dated 2010 to date are 90.9% Steel and 9.1% Nickel.
