The specimen shown is of a type common in all grades. The type was struck 1894-97, 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: 819,000.
Specification: 1.5 g, 0.835 fine silver, .040 troy oz ASW. The original colonial half real was 1.69 g, .896 fine silver.
