Guatemala's commemorative silver program has leaned heavily on Antigua as a subject since the colonial city's UNESCO listing in 1979, and this 2024 issue continues that pattern. The city itself was capital of the Captaincy General of Guatemala until the catastrophic 1773 Santa Marta earthquakes — a pair of major tremors that struck on July 29th — leveled much of the city and prompted the colonial administration's forced relocation to the present capital, leaving Antigua suspended in a state of managed ruin that now defines its appeal.
