2 Reales - Carlos III Proclamation

Beschrijving voorzijde	Draped bust of Carlos III facing right, rendered in low relief with a ribbon-tied queue visible at the nape of the neck. The effigy is somewhat crudely engraved in the colonial style, occupying the central field. The encircling Latin legend reads CAROLUS · III · D · G · HISPAN · ET · IND · REX, separated by pellet stops, running along the inner border. The coin exhibits a milled outer rim and a hole punched near the upper right, consistent with period use as a suspension piece.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Central device depicts a horse and rider in full gallop positioned above two prominently rendered twin volcanoes, symbolic of the Guatemalan landscape and the captaincy general. The composition is set within an open field with the date 1760 displayed in the lower exergual area. The surrounding circular legend GUAT · IN · EIUS · PROCLAMATIONE · 1760 · runs along the inner border, commemorating the proclamation of Carlos III in Guatemala. The engraving is characteristic of colonial Central American proclamation coinage, with bold if somewhat naive rendering. A hole punch is visible at the upper left, indicating former use as a suspended ornament or keepsake.
