| Beschrijving keerzijde | A resplendent quetzal bird is depicted in dynamic flight, with its long ornamental tail feathers sweeping dramatically downward in the field. To the left in the middle ground, the iconic stepped pyramid of Tikal rises against a stylized background, rendered in fine relief. The inscription 'EL QUETZAL' appears to the right of the bird in the middle field, with the date '1995' below. The trimetallic format provides a gold-toned outer ring framing the silver-toned middle ring and contrasting inner core, enhancing the depth of the design. The composition celebrates Guatemala's national bird and its pre-Columbian heritage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala never adopted this denomination for circulation — the 10 Quetzales trimetallic pattern was a speculative proposal, almost certainly produced to demonstrate manufacturing capability rather than to fill any genuine monetary need. Trimetallic blanks of this configuration were being pitched to several Latin American mints in the mid-1990s as European bimetallic technology, proven by the French 20 Francs and the nascent Euro coinage program, began attracting interest from smaller issuing authorities. Guatemala declined.
The X#2 catalog reference places it firmly in pattern and essai territory. Surviving examples are presumed extremely few.
