Obverse lettering	EL BANCO DE OCCIDENTE REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA QUEZALTENANGO Pagará á la vista al portador en moneda efectiva UN PESO
Reverse description	The reverse is executed in dark brown ink with an elaborate symmetrical guilloche framework, flanking a central oval cartouche enclosing the Guatemalan national coat of arms — the quetzal bird perched above a scroll inscribed 'LIBERTAD 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 1821'. Rectangular denomination panels reading 'UN PESO' appear at left and right, with 'BANCO DE OCCIDENTE' arching above and 'QUEZALTENANGO' below the central arms, all enclosed within intricate scrollwork borders. The printer's imprint 'Waterlow & Sons Limited, London Wall, London E.C.' is lettered at the lower margin.
