| Obverse description | The Guatemalan national coat of arms is centrally displayed within a beaded inner circle, depicting a quartered shield with a radiating sun above the upper half and three volcanoes over water in the lower half, flanked on either side by draped laurel branches tied at the base with a bow. A small floral ornament appears at the bottom of the inner circle. The circular legend * REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA encircles the design within the beaded border, with a five-petaled rosette serving as a separator at the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The numeral 50 is prominently displayed at the center of the coin within a beaded circle, flanked by horizontal ruled fields above and below. The denomination legend CENTAVOS appears above the numeral, while the fineness mark 0,835 R. and the date 1870 are inscribed below, separated by asterisks. The fields surrounding the central design are divided into alternating plain, horizontal-lined, vertical-lined, and dotted segments, creating a decorative geometric arrangement typical of Central American coinage of the period. |
