| Additional information |
Guatemala's 1900 coinage experiments coincided with the Reyna Barrios administration's collapse and the rise of Manuel Estrada Cabrera, who seized power in February of that year following Reyna Barrios's assassination. Pattern issues from this transitional moment are rarely documented with precision, and KM#Pn35 is no exception — the surviving population is small enough that auction appearances are years apart.
The copper-nickel composition distinguishes it from the silver production coinage it was presumably meant to replace or complement, suggesting a cost-reduction trial that never advanced to adoption.
