Description

FOR AUCTION HERE ARE SIX SILVER LEMPIRA COINS WHICH ARE BEING SOLD INDIVIDUALLY AT APIECE.  YOU MAY PICK THE DATE YOU PREFER.
In 1931 the Government of Honduras introduced a new national currency, the Lempira.
Named for a legendary brave Native American
cacique
who valiantly fought the Spanish
conquistadores
, the Lempira was originally fixed in value
vis-à-vis
the US dollar at a rate of 2:1.
The Lempira was, then
and for many decades, worth {{detail_product_description}}.50 USD and the Lempira coin was the exact size (31 mm), weight (0.36 oz), and silver content as the US half dollar. Furthermore, it was minted for the GOH by the US mint in Philadelphia.
Each coin contains about -10 worth of silver at the current fluctuating price of silver.
The Lempira coin, known in Honduran slang as a
bamba
, was first minted in 1931, and then annually through 1935; for reasons unknown to me, no
bambas
were minted in 1936, but they were again minted in 1937, the final year they were issued.
For auction here is a complete set of silver Lempiras, one for each year they were minted.
Although I collected coins for many years, I am not a numismatist and will not attempt to grade these coins.
What I will say is that they are IMHO in very excellent condition.
When examining the images, note Chief Lempira’s hair:
this is the first place wear shows on these coins.
The first image shows the reverse side of the coins, lined up left to right 1931, 32, 33, 34, 35 & 37.
The second image shows the exact same coins, in the exact same order, but flipped over to show the obverse of each coin.
