| Aanvullende informatie |
Rafael Carrera ruled Guatemala from 1844 until his death in 1865, and these gold 20 Pesos were struck in the years immediately following his regime under the conservative governments that briefly preserved his political order. The denomination itself was part of Guatemala's adoption of a decimal coinage system — a modernizing administrative reform that sat uneasily alongside the deeply traditionalist politics Carrera had embodied.
The .900 fine standard mirrors the contemporaneous Latin Monetary Union specifications, though Guatemala never formally joined the union.
