| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Guatemalan national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting crossed rifles and swords, a quetzal bird, and a scroll inscribed REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA, all surmounted by a radiant sun rising above two mountain peaks. Flanking the shield are crossed rifles and a laurel branch. A circular counterstamp bearing the obverse design of the 1894 half-real — with the legend REAL REPUBLICA — is applied over the central device. Surrounding ribbons carry the inscriptions GUATIMALA and OTECCIONES, with RESPUBLICA and 0.900 at lower left, 1869 R. at lower right, and UN PESO in large letters along the lower rim. |

Guatemala's counterstamped coinage of this period reflects a practical stopgap rather than deliberate monetary policy. Facing chronic shortages of domestic silver, the government authorized the counterstamping of foreign coins — predominantly Chilean and Bolivian pesos — to legitimize their circulation at par. The 1894 issue represents one of the later applications of this practice before Guatemala moved toward a more formalized national coinage system.
KM#219 specimens vary considerably depending on the host coin, and the counterstamp placement is frequently off-center.
