| Aanvullende informatie |
Guatemala's monetary reform of the early 1890s was driven by the Reyna Barrios administration's push to align the national currency with the Latin Monetary Union standard, a project that ultimately produced several pattern issues before the new coinage was formalized. This 1894 piece is one of those exploratory strikes — official enough to carry a reference in Friedberg and KM, scarce enough that confirmed auction appearances are rare.
The .900 fine specification mirrors exactly the LMU gold standard, which was no accident.
