Comments

Honduraska waluta nosi imię Lempira, wodza rdzennego ludu Lenca, który prowadził wojnę przeciwko hiszpańskiej okupacji kraju w XVI wieku. Jest on czczony jako bohater narodowy.

Monety te zostały wprowadzone w 1931 roku w celu uzupełnienia obiegu ćwierćdolarówek amerykańskich, ponieważ w tamtym czasie miały one taką samą wartość. Monety Stanów Zjednoczonych stopniowo wychodziły z obiegu w ciągu następnej dekady. Ze względu na niedobór krajowej waluty w 1943 roku, ćwierćdolarówki zostały zaimportowane do obiegu wraz z tymi monetami. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

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

These coins were introduced in 1931 to supplement the circulation of United States Quarter Dollars, as they were the same value at the time. United States coins gradually left circulation over the next decade. Due to a shortage of national currency in 1943, Quarters were imported to circulate alongside these pieces.
