| Obverse description | The Guatemalan coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a quetzal bird perched atop a scroll inscribed with the independence date, flanked by crossed rifles and swords, with laurel branches on either side. The denomination '50' and legend 'QUETZALES' appear prominently in the lower field below the arms. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA' runs along the upper periphery of the inner ring, with 'LIBERTAD 15 DE SETIEMBRE DE 1821' inscribed on the scroll within the arms. The coin displays a tripartite trimetallic construction with distinct brass outer and middle rings surrounding a contrasting silver-toned inner disc. |

| Reverse description | A scarlet macaw (guacamaya) is depicted in high relief, perched on a branch and facing left, with wings partially spread to display detailed feathering. The ruins of Antigua Guatemala, including colonial church facades and an arch, are rendered in the left background field, evoking the historic colonial capital. The legend 'GUACAMAYA' is inscribed in the upper left field, while the date '1995' appears in the lower right field. The trimetallic ring structure frames the composition, with the contrasting brass outer ring providing a bold border around the central motif. |
