Guatemala introduced five centavo pieces featuring the ceiba tree in 1949. Originally silver, the alloy was changed to copper-nickel in 1965, same as the United States. Many variations of the basic design exist, depending on which contractor actually produced the coin. This subtype was struck 1981 and 1983.

Recorded mintage: 8,000,000.

Specification: 1.60 g, copper-nickel, 16 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 276.3.
