附加信息

Pattern coinage in Guatemala during the mid-1990s was largely driven by the Banco de Guatemala's exploration of higher-denomination circulating coins that never materialized — the 50 Quetzales face value represented roughly ten U.S. dollars at 1995 exchange rates, an impractical denomination for everyday commerce in a country where the quetzal had suffered sustained inflationary pressure since the 1980s. The brass specification suggests a cost-conscious trial, testing whether a base-metal alloy could lend sufficient visual weight to justify the denomination.

The X# prefix in Krause's catalog designates it as an official pattern — produced by or for the issuing authority, never released for circulation. Surviving examples are typically in mint state by definition.
