| Reverse description | Two crowned globes representing the Old and New Worlds are depicted at center, flanked on either side by crowned Pillars of Hercules — the classical symbol of Spanish imperial reach. The circular legend surrounds the design, incorporating the Guatemala mint mark 'G' on either side of the date, which appears at the bottom of the legend. The overall composition follows the standard Pillar dollar (columnario) type issued across Spanish colonial mints. |
