| Reverse description | The arms of the Republic of Guatemala occupy the central field, depicting a shield charged with mountains and sea beneath a radiant rising sun, flanked by two crossed rifles with fixed bayonets and two crossed swords, surmounted by a quetzal bird. A laurel branch appears to the right of the shield. A scrolled banner below the shield bears the republic's name. The fineness designation, face value, and date are inscribed along the lower periphery, all enclosed within a beaded border. |
