Description from the seller
GUATEMALA. 1/4 Real. 1889.
- Value: 1/4 Real.
- Year: 1889.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA. Reverse: 1/4 REAL · five stars.
- Grade: MS64 (NGC).
Silver coin depicting on the obverse three volcanoes crowned by a radiant sun, emblematic motif of Guatemalan iconography symbolizing the territory and freedom, in a simple yet well-defined style. The reverse presents the face value 1/4 Real in the center, surrounded by a vegetal crown and accompanied at the bottom by five stars, alluding to the old Central American federation. The piece shows an excellent state of preservation, with crisp reliefs, clean fields with a slight silvery tone and soft patina, highlighting an attractive original shine and a well-centered strike typical of a quality minting.
