1 Real

Guatemala's silver reales were an anachronism by 1894 — the country had officially adopted the peso decimal system in 1859, yet fractional real coinage persisted in circulation for decades afterward simply because rural commerce demanded small silver. The Casa de Moneda in Guatemala City continued striking these pieces to meet that gap rather than any formal monetary mandate.

KM#166 spans five years of issue, with output varying considerably by year. The 1894 pieces are generally the most available; the 1898 date is notably scarcer and worth distinguishing from its earlier counterparts when cataloging.
