Obverse description The central field features the national coat of arms of Guatemala — depicting a resplendent quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the date of independence, flanked by laurel branches and crossed rifles — set within a raised inner circle. The legend REPÚBLICA DE GUATEMALA arcs along the upper portion of the inner circle, with the date 2007 appearing in the exergue below. Surrounding the central medallion, eight smaller circular vignettes arranged in the outer field depict the national arms of the various Ibero-American participating nations, each rendered in fine detail. The word LIBERTAD and the independence date 15 DE SETIEMBRE DE 1821 are incorporated into the overall design.

Reverse description The reverse presents a dynamic allegorical figure of Victory or Nike, shown in motion with flowing drapery and outstretched wings, rising above a stylized Olympic flame atop a pedestal in the lower field. The composition evokes the spirit of athletic competition, with additional abstract figures suggesting various Olympic disciplines in the background field. The curved legend VII SERIE IBEROAMERICANA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination 1 Quetzal is boldly inscribed in the lower field beneath the central device.
