The specimen shown is of a common type. The type was struck 1867-69, along with a one real (KM 141) and two reales (KM 142). Guatemala was the last country in Latin America to abandon the real, in 1912, a reflection of the extreme conservatism of the peasant society. Rafael Carrera appeared on the peso until 1871.
Recorded mintage: 92,000.
Specification: 1.55 g, 0.903 fine silver, 0.045 troy oz ASW. The original colonial half real was 1.69 g, .896 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM 143.
