HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, bronze 1 centavo mule, 1895, obverse die for 10 centavos 1871 with date modified, rare. KM-63. 2.58 grams. Following the failed experiment with elegant copper-nickel coinage from Paris in 1869-71 (see lot 1089), the Tegucigalpa mint issued bronze coinage that devolved in 1895 to dismal productions from muled and modified old dies, this being an example of KM-35 (obv) and 40 (rev), always seen in low grade as here (Fair with corroded surfaces), this example also with interesting variation in color of the copper content, one of reportedly only eight to ten known.
