Guatemala 2011 25 centavos rev DSLR.jpg

The specimen shown is from a type struck for Guatemala since 1998. This coin is common in all grades thru uncirculated. Earlier silver twenty-five centavos were issued 1928-64 and the Maya woman first appeared in 1949. Guatemala still issues ten centavo pieces with the Maya obverse but the alloy was changed to copper-nickel in 1965, same as the United States. Paradoxically, this coin has such a low catalog value that it is difficult to find. Dealers do not find it worthwhile to stock such items.

Recorded mintage: unknown but common.

Specification: 8.09 g, copper-nickel, 27 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 278.6.
