E Independiente" On the oval are two cornucopias and a quiver of arrows. Under

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.
