| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala's quarter real of this period occupies an awkward transitional moment — the country was deep into the coffee-export boom under President José María Reina Barrios, and monetary policy was increasingly chaotic as paper currency began displacing fractional silver. These tiny coins were struck in limited quantities and circulated hard among the rural poor for whom paper money was neither trusted nor practical.
The .750 fineness is notably low for silver coinage of the era, reflecting Guatemala's ongoing debasement of small denominations throughout the late nineteenth century.
