Honduran Coin Mint-Marks

[YumaMarc]

I've been looking at some Honduran Provisional coins lately and I have a question about the mint marks. Perhaps someone with world coin expertise could help me.

This coin has the letters "T" and "F" on either side of the date. I've been assuming the T means Tegucigalpa, but I may be completely wrong. I haven't a clue what the F means. I've also seen A, C (or G?) and L.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

My guess: Yes, the T is Tegucigalpa and the letter after the date is the last initial of the assayer.

An excellent looking OLD COIN, how did you come across it?

This is not my coin, I just used this as an illustration. I wish it were mine! I do have a number of early Honduran coins, but most are not this good.

Here's another similar coin noting the 'F' is the last name of the assayer:
