200 Quetzales

Guatemala's 200 quetzal denomination has existed since the 1970s but remained relatively uncommon in everyday transactions — the value sits high enough that most circulation wear concentrates on lower denominations. The P#W127 issue is part of a broader modernization push by the Banco de Guatemala that retained G+D as printer, a relationship stretching back decades in the region.

The "W" prefix in the Pick reference signals a polymer-family catalog entry, though this note is cotton paper — an inconsistency in the Pick numbering system that occasionally confuses attribution.
