| Additional information |
Guatemala's 1915 provisional issues were struck during a period of acute monetary disruption tied to the economic shocks of World War I, which severed the country's access to reliable silver supplies and forced a temporary shift to bronze for fractional coinage. The "provisional" designation reflected the government's explicit acknowledgment that these were stopgap pieces, not intended as a permanent solution to the currency shortage.
KM#231 is notably scarce in circulated grades above Fine, having seen heavy use in a period of economic instability.
