| Additional information |
Guatemala's fractional silver coinage of this period was tied directly to the monetary reforms following the collapse of the Central American Federation. The quarter real occupied the lowest tier of the silver series — small enough that attrition through loss and wear was enormous, which explains why survivors in any collectible condition are genuinely scarce despite a multi-year production run.
KM#151 was struck at the Casa de Moneda in Guatemala City. The .835 fineness aligns with regional standards adopted across several Central American republics in the 1870s as they independently restructured their monetary systems after decades of post-independence instability.
