| Additional information |
Guatemala's centavo coinage of this period was produced under the watch of the Banco de Guatemala, established in 1946 to replace the earlier currency board system. The brass composition adopted for this denomination in the mid-1960s reflected a broader Latin American shift away from bronze as copper prices climbed on international markets. Several regional mints competed for the contract during these years, with production ultimately handled in Philadelphia.
