Waterlow & Sons produced this series for Guatemala during a stretch of significant political instability — the 1954 CIA-backed coup that removed Jacobo Árbenz had only just reshuffled the country's financial administration, and the Banco de Guatemala was issuing under a newly compliant government. Whether that political rupture directly influenced the contract with Waterlow is not documented, but the timing is tight.
Waterlow lost its reputation catastrophically in 1929 after the Reis affair — a Portuguese forger named Artur Virgílio Alves Reis tricked the firm into printing unauthorized escudo notes. The company survived but spent decades rebuilding institutional trust, which makes their Latin American contracts of the 1950s partly a story of reputational recovery.
