Obverse: "Republica de Honduras" over the
Honduran coat of arms: the triangle Coat of Arms of the Central American
federation with a volcano between two towers in an oval. Behind it are a sun and
a rainbow. Around the oval are the words "Republica de Honduras Libre, Soberana,
E Independiente" On the oval are two cornucopias and a quiver of arrows. Under
the oval is a landscape with oak and pine trees, and mining equipment.
Reverse: "20 Centavos de Lempira" over portrait of Lempira (without feathers)
facing left within a circle, and denomination.
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 Spanish occupation of the country during 16th century. He
is revered as a national hero.
The image on the reverse of this coin is of Lempira.
