| Obverse description | The Guatemalan coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quetzal bird perched atop an open scroll inscribed with the independence date, flanked by crossed rifles and swords behind a wreath of laurel and olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon. The fineness mark '0,835' appears in the lower left field and the date '1893' in the lower right, with the word 'ESSAI' incused along the bottom rim between them. The legend 'LIBERTAD 15 DE SETIEMBRE DE 1821' is inscribed on the central scroll. The design is rendered in high relief within a reeded border, reflecting the refined engraving style of the Paris Mint workshops. |

| Reverse description | A seated allegorical figure of Justice dominates the central field, holding a balance scale in her left hand and a cornucopia in her right, her arm resting upon a constitutional tablet. She is depicted in classical robes in the neoclassical style characteristic of late 19th-century French mint engraving. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA' arcs around the upper periphery, with the reform date '30 DE JUNIO DE 1871' below, the denomination 'DOS REALES' at the bottom of the design, and the engraver's name 'LAGRANGE' inscribed beneath the central device. |
