| Additional information |
Guatemala's reales coinage was on its way out by 1881 — the peso decimal system had been officially adopted, and these silver fractional pieces were being struck largely to satisfy residual demand during the monetary transition. The 1881 date places this coin in the final years of production for the type before it was fully displaced by decimal issues.
