| Additional information |
Guatemala's fractional silver coinage of this period was issued under the conservative government that followed the Liberal reforms, before the 1871 Liberal Revolution under Justo Rufino Barrios fully restructured the country's monetary system. The 1/4 real — the smallest silver denomination in regular circulation — was already an anachronism by the time these were struck, a holdover from the colonial real system that Barrios would effectively dismantle by the end of the decade.
Production ceased around 1878 as Guatemala transitioned toward a decimal monetary framework, making the later dates in this short run considerably harder to find.
