Shown is a 1770 one real from the [[Guatemala]] mint, of a type issued 1760-1771. All pillar coinage from Guatemala is scarce and many issues are rare. Yonaka<sup>[1]</sup> states three are known to exist. 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 as evidenced by the filled letters. In 1741, the Mexico City mint revised the shield side of design to allow the crown to interrupt the legend; this was never done in Guatemala.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 3.38 g, 0.917 fine silver, 0.099 troy oz ASW.
