| Obverse description | Central field displays the Guatemalan national coat of arms: a quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the independence date LIBERTAD 15 DE SETIEMBRE DE 1821, flanked by two crossed rifles and two crossed swords, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The fineness 0.835 appears in the lower left field and the date 1893 in the lower right, with the word ESSAI incused at the very bottom between them, confirming the essai (trial strike) status of this piece. The border is formed by a continuous row of raised beads. |
