| Additional information |
Guatemala's 1-peso silver coinage of this period was issued under the conservative government that followed decades of Liberal-Conservative turbulence in Central America. The peso denomination itself was short-lived in the Guatemalan system — the country would soon shift monetary frameworks as regional economies wrestled with silver depreciation on international markets through the 1870s.
KM#197 is a two-year type, struck across both dates with no confirmed major die varieties in standard references.
