| 正面描述 | Dark blue-grey intaglio on pale stock. The bank title "EL BANCO DE GUATEMALA" spans the upper border, flanked by numeral-1 counters and ornate scrollwork, with two opposing steam locomotive vignettes set within landscape panels. A central oval carries an anchor and quetzal bird motif within a laurel wreath, above the bold denomination panel "UN PESO" and the promise clause "PAGARÁ A PORTADOR EN MONEDA EFECTIVA"; the lower register bears the printed place and date, red serial numbers at left and right, three manuscript signatures, and the printer's imprint. |

| 备注 |
The Compañía Internacional de Billetes de Banco was a Guatemala City-based printing firm — unusual for the period, when most Latin American banks contracted European or North American security printers. Their domestic production kept costs down but introduced inconsistencies in ink quality across print runs, something collectors notice when comparing examples from different years within this long issue window.
El Banco de Guatemala was a private commercial bank operating under concession, not a central bank. Its note-issuing privileges survived into the early twentieth century only because Guatemala lacked a state monopoly on currency until the Banco Central's establishment in 1926.
