This specimen was lot 1072 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 27 (Winter Park, FL, May 2020), where it sold for $190.40. The catalog description[1] noted, "Guatemala, 1/4 real, Charles IV, 1798, ex-Reinhart. XF+ with nice toning, parts of rims slightly crude (as made). Pedigreed to the Philip Y. Reinhart collection and to the Superior sale of June 3-4, 1997 with lot tag #6519." This tiny coin shares the design with similar issues from Mexico City and other Spanish colonial mints. The type was struck 1796-1821. Most of the dates are very scarce, but the 1821G appears in Uncirculated with some frequency, most likely the result of a hoard being dispersed. The denomination seems to have been popular in Guatemala, as silver cuartillas were struck under the Central American Republic 1824-51 and by the Republic of Guatemala 1859-99, being the last country to abandon the denomination. Harris[2] records fewer cuartillas than any other denomination of Guatemala; hoard finds may have changed this mix ratio.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
