Rafael Carrera ruled Guatemala as its first president — and from 1854, as president-for-life — following a peasant revolt he led against the liberal reforms that had dismantled traditional indigenous land rights and the Catholic Church's authority. This small gold piece was issued under that authoritarian consolidation, a period when Guatemala's monetary system remained fragmented and unreliable despite decades of independence from Spain.
The extremely low weight places this among the smallest gold coins in Central American numismatics. KM#135 is notably scarce in any condition, reflecting both limited mintage and the tendency of such small-denomination gold to disappear into jewelry use or simple loss.
