Comments

1. 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 the 16th century. He is revered as a national hero.

2. Sept. 15, 1821, within the Coat of Arms commemorates the day when 5 Central American countries including Honduras gained independence from Spanish rule. 15th Sept is celebrated as the National Day of Honduras.
