Honduras 1 peso Provisional Coinage Tree KM-24 AU58 PCGS copper coin 1862

The 1862 Honduras 1 Peso provisional copper coin is a fascinating and historically important issue from the early republican era of Central America. Certified AU58 by PCGS, this rare “Tree” type coin reflects the transitional monetary system of Honduras during the mid-19th century. The obverse features the national emblem with a radiant triangle containing a volcanic mountain beneath an all-seeing eye, symbolizing liberty, vigilance, and independence. The design is surrounded by banners, floral ornaments, and inscriptions referencing the provisional state authority of Honduras. Two defensive towers rise beside the triangle above stylized ocean waves, while a decorative toothed border frames the composition. The reverse displays a detailed tree at the center, representing growth, stability, and prosperity, accompanied by the denomination “1 P.” and the date 1862. Circular legends and border denticles complete the elegant design. Struck in copper with attractive brown surfaces and strong remaining detail, this provisional coin is an outstanding collectible for enthusiasts of Latin American numismatics, early republic coinage, symbolic heraldry, and scarce 19th-century Central American issues. Its historical character and unusual artistic motifs make it especially desirable for advanced collectors.
