Obverse description	Multicolour note with a central intaglio vignette of a rural harvesting scene with figures carrying baskets in a tropical landscape, framed by intricate guilloche borders. The Guatemalan coat of arms appears in an oval medallion to the left, while a quetzal bird perches on a branch in the right panel; the denomination '100' is printed in each of the four corners. Two allegorical female figures in classical style are engraved at the lower left and lower right corners, with signature lines for 'Director' and 'Gerente' below the central vignette.
