Central American Republic real

[2] The numismatic history of the Federal Republic begins with the passage of the coinage law of 19 March 1824.

[2] The law states coins should be produced in gold and silver, featuring reverses with the motto Libre Crezca Fecundo and a Ceiba tree as a symbol of liberty.

Due to their diminutive size, quarter real pieces were permitted by law to feature only three volcanos.

Master dies were prepared in Guatemala and eventually sent to the mints in Costa Rica and Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

[5] The issues of 1824 and 1825 were considered nonstandard by the central government in Guatemala, and a law dictating minting operations cease in Tegucigalpa until improved dies could be delivered was passed in 1825.
