| Obverse description | The Guatemalan national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a resplendent quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the independence declaration date, flanked by crossed rifles and swords below and framed by two laurel branches. The scroll bears the legend LIBERTAD 15 DE SETIEMBRE DE 1821 in the field. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The mint year appears in the lower exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

The curved legend LIBRE CREZCA FECUNDO (meaning 'May it grow free and fertile') runs along the lower periphery. The design is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
