| Obverse description | Central field features the Guatemalan national arms: a scroll inscribed with the independence legend flanked by crossed rifles and a quetzal bird perched atop, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA runs along the upper periphery, while the date 1881 appears in the lower field below the arms. The scroll bears the inscription LIBERTAD 15 DE SET DE 1821, commemorating Guatemalan independence. The design is rendered in fine relief with a beaded border encircling the entire composition. |
