    Not sure weather to toss this in the trash or keep it as a novelty. I haven't studied Honduras coinage, however, I understand that this "2 Reales" is a counterfeit and doesn't look like a good one at that. It does read "Provisinal" not "Provisional" on the Obverse. If it's a contemporary counterfeit I want to keep it, but I'm totally suspect since the quality of the strike looks so bad.

    Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

    It's a contemporary counterfeit with a very well struck central design relative to how these crude pieces typically are. A keeper in my book :)
