Guatemala's 4 Reales issues of this period were struck during the long dictatorship of Justo Rufino Barrios's successor, José María Reyna Barrios, whose administration collapsed into fiscal disorder before his assassination in 1898. The reales denomination itself was already an anachronism by the 1890s — Guatemala had nominally adopted a decimal peso system decades earlier, yet traditional fractional reales continued circulating because the public simply refused to abandon them.
KM#168 is known with mintage figures that varied sharply year to year, making the 1894 and 1897 dates meaningfully different in survival rates.
