| Obverse description | The obverse bears a Guatemalan counterstamp applied to the obverse of a Peruvian host coin. The counterstamp consists of the coat of arms taken from the Guatemalan 1/2 Real of 1894. The underlying host coin displays the Peruvian national coat of arms — featuring a shield divided into three sections depicting a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia — with the denomination indicated in the exergue. The host coin legend encircles the arms and references the Lima Mint, fineness, and date of Peruvian independence. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Guatemalan counterstamp applied to the reverse of a Peruvian host coin, the counterstamp depicting the Justice allegory taken from the Guatemalan 1/2 Real of 1894. The underlying host coin reverse shows a draped bust of Liberty facing left, with the date positioned below the effigy. The surrounding legend references the Guatemalan republic and the commemorative date of 30 June 1871, along with the denomination and the engraver's name LAGRANGE and the year 1880. The overall composition reflects the emergency monetary circumstances that necessitated counterstamping foreign silver coinage for local circulation. |
