| Additional information |
Guatemala's 1893 pattern coinage was produced as the country weighed monetary reforms under the government of José María Reyna Barrios, who came to power that same year. The 4 Reales denomination itself was already an anachronism by this point — Central American monetary systems were rapidly converting to decimal peso structures, which makes the choice to strike a pattern in reales rather than the incoming peso denominations an oddity worth noting.
Pn15 is documented in the Krause pattern listings but surviving examples are exceedingly rare, with no established population in major registry services.
