| Obverse description | The obverse presents an oval vignette to the left enclosing a three-quarter portrait of a young woman in period dress with flowers in her hair, framed within a fine guilloche border, while a central pastoral vignette to the right illustrates agricultural laborers set in a tropical landscape. The heading 'EL BANCO DE OCCIDENTE' arches across the top, with 'REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA' and 'QUEZALTENANGO' inscribed to the right, and the promise-to-pay clause 'Pagará á la vista al portador en moneda efectiva' runs across the central field. The denomination 'UN PESO' appears at the base, the whole executed in a style characteristic of late nineteenth-century intaglio commercial banknote printing. |
