| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Guatemalan national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the independence legend, flanked by two crossed rifles at the base and laurel branches on either side. The scroll bears the inscription LIBERTAD 15 DE SET DE 1821, commemorating the date of Guatemalan independence. The mint year 1881 appears in the exergue below the arms, flanked by small decorative stars. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA runs along the periphery. The entire design is framed by a fine toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala's 1881 coinage was produced under the liberal reform government of Justo Rufino Barrios, who had overhauled the national monetary system in the late 1870s to align it with the Latin Monetary Union's silver standards — a deliberate move to facilitate trade with European partners and neighboring republics. The mint at Guatemala City was the sole striking facility, operating under chronic supply constraints that make low-mintage years from this decade notoriously difficult to pin down in surviving records.
KM#204 represents one of the shorter-lived decimal silver types before subsequent reforms reworked the coinage yet again in the late 1880s.
