Guatemala 1898 cuartilla rev JS.jpg

The specimen shown is of a type common in all grades. The type was struck 1894-99, along with a one real (KM 166), two reales (KM 167), four reales (KM 168.1) and peso (KM 210). Guatemala was the last country in Latin America to abandon the real, in 1912, a reflection of the extreme conservatism of the peasant society.

Recorded mintage: 384,000.

Specification: 0.77 g, 0.835 fine silver, .020 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: KM 162.
