| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Guatemalan national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a resplendent quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the independence declaration date, flanked by crossed rifles and swords and framed by laurel branches. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA runs along the upper periphery, while the silver fineness mark 0.720 appears in the lower left of the exergue and the date of issue to the lower right. The overall design is rendered in high relief with finely detailed heraldic elements characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Latin American coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala's silver coinage of this period was produced under considerable monetary pressure — the country had been cycling through currency reforms since the early 1920s, and the quetzal system established in 1925 was still finding its footing in small denomination silver. The .720 fine standard adopted here mirrors the reduced silver content that most Latin American states accepted by mid-century as bullion costs made higher fineness coins economically unsustainable to keep in circulation.
KM#263 was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, which handled Guatemalan coin production during years when the Casa de Moneda lacked sufficient capacity.
