Shown is a 1754 four reales from the [[Guatemala]] mint, of a type issued 1754-60. All pillar coinage from Guatemala is scarce and many issues are rare. Gilboy[1] notes this date as R2 or fairly rare. There is one listed variety, with a late-style '5' in the date. Assayer "J" is noted for the years 1754-59. Unlike the other colonial mints, Guatemala seems to have issued more four reales than any other denomination. Gilboy marks the half, one and two reales as "rare" and the eight reales as "scarce" to "normal." None are marked as common. Guatemala issues are notably cruder than other mints.

Mexican numismatists hotly debate which side of the coin constitutes the obverse. Gilboy[1] depicts the shield side as the obverse as that side bears the king's name. However, auction catalogs and dealer listings more frequently use the pillars and globes side as the obverse, as that side bears the date.
