| Lot description: Honduras Central American Republic Real 1830 T-F XF45 NGC, Tegucigalpa mint, KM19.2. Although this example exhibits some device softness, the sunface appears to have been unscathed in commerce. https://coins.ha.com/itm/honduras/honduras-central-american-republic-real-1830-t-f-xf45-ngc-/a/61372-22126.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61372-02192024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |

| Lot description: Honduras Republic gold 10 Pesos 1883 AU50 NGC, Tegucigalpa mint, KM58, Fr-5. A most appreciable and desirable date and denomination from Honduras. The 10 and 20 Pesos issues of 1883 remain as absolute rarities, seen at market once every few years despite a group of 13 pieces uncovered in the early 2000s. One of only four pieces have been witnessed in the last decade with each in comparable preservation. However, this example is one of the nicer coins from the recently uncovered group and thus represents an important numismatic item, one which is virtually unattainable to most collectors. The aforementioned group of thirteen 1883 10 Pesos were struck at a slightly later date, as was accepted and legal practice at the Tegucigalpa mint, probably as wedding tokens of a (very) wealthy groom for his future wife. This in indeed confirmed by two almost contemporary and independent reports proving that Honduras did not strike regular issue gold coins until 1888: a testimony from Mr. Consul Herring on the Honduran coinage of 1885 included in the 1888 "Report of the (United States) Director of the Mint" states that "There has never been any gold coined in the country" while Esteban Lazo ("Historia de la Moneda en Honduras", October 16, 1888) indicates that the first gold in denominations of 20, 5 and 1 peso (note the absence of the 10 Pesos denomination) minted in "... May of this year (of 1888) were the first gold coins minted in Honduras and, as such, will represent a milestone in the story of the country". Many of the 13 pieces from the wedding dowry have been harshly cleaned, and most all have at least some evidence of light cleaning. Several have been polished, or have other similar problems. Ex.

| Lot description: Honduras Central American Republic 2 Reales 1831 T-F VF35 NGC, Tegucigalpa mint, KM9.3. Struck on an overweight planchet. 9.44gm. A most curious example struck on an atypical planchet, yet relaying ample detail despite the moderately handled conditional assignment. https://coins.ha.com/itm/honduras/honduras-central-american-republic-2-reales-1831-t-f-vf35-ngc-/a/61374-22213.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61374-05122024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |

| Lot description: Costa Rica Central American Republic Counterstamped 4 Reales 1846 VF35 NGC, San Jose mint, cf. KM50 (different host). Host: United States 1/2 Dollar 1838; Counterstamp: Type 4 bifacial with denomination and rising sun (VF Standard). One of several confirmed dates for this US Capped Bust Half Dollar host and one that is not seen at auction with any frequency, adding to the already-solidified rarity of the 4 Reales denomination within the series. Decrees of October 15, 1846 and January 27, 1847 authorized such countermarks, the former targeting cobs of acceptable quality with the latter widening the scope of the operation to include any coin of acceptable fineness and weight that were unknown to the public. Interestingly, although the latter decree applied to circular milled foreign coins including these Half Dollar hosts, the present example bears a countermark punch with the 1846 date. Likely, our specimen was among the first of these "unknown" issues that were revalidated since struck before the new punches with the correct "1847" date were prepared. In addition to historical intrigue and rarity, the piece at hand offers high eye-appeal, exhibiting an even cabinet tone that loosens at the highpoints, emphasizing the impressive surviving detail of the motifs. Sure to be a target amongst World and US collectors alike. Ex.

| Lot description: Honduras Republic Provisional Peso 1862 T-A AU55 Brown NGC, Tegucigalpa mint, KM24. Dots separate legends. An unknown quantity was struck in London, England, despite the Tegucigalpa mint mark.
