| 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 date legend, flanked by crossed rifles and swords and encircled by laurel branches. The circular legend REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50 QUETZALES appears in large numerals and text below the arms. The entire design is set within an incuse octagonal inner border framed by a plain outer rim. The composition is rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof field. |
