Honduran lempira (HNL)

The Honduran lempira, coded as HNL and represented by the symbol L, is the official currency of Honduras. Named in 1931 after the 16th-century indigenous Lenca ruler Lempira who resisted Spanish forces, it replaced the Honduran peso at par. Issued by the Central Bank of Honduras, the lempira is divided into 100 centavos and operates under a crawling peg managed against major world currencies.
