The shield is encircled by the collar chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece, rendered in fine detail. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, reading IN UTROQ FELIX AUSPICE DEO, invoking divine blessing. The mint mark NG (Nueva Guatemala) and the assayer initial M appear in the lower portion of the field. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design.

附加信息	Carlos IV's accession coinage from Guatemala represents the first year of his reign — 1789 was also the year the Spanish crown was watching the French Revolution ignite across the Pyrenees, a crisis that would ultimately consume the monarchy his son Fernando VII inherited. The Casa de Moneda de Guatemala, established in 1731, was one of the few New World mints authorized to strike gold escudos, and the Guatemala City facility served the entire Central American region. KM#48 is the accession type; the portrait style shifted with subsequent issues as the mint updated its working dies.
