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.
- Grading: MS64 (NGC).
Silver coin depicting on the obverse three volcanoes crowned by a radiant sun, emblematic motif of Guatemalan iconography that symbolizes the territory and liberty, in a simple yet well-defined style. The reverse presents the face value 1/4 Real in the center, surrounded by a vegetal wreath and accompanied at the bottom by five stars, alluding to the old Central American federation. The specimen shows an excellent state of preservation, with crisp reliefs, clean fields with a slight silvery tone and soft patina, highlighting an attractive original luster and a well-centered strike typical of a quality minting.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs/legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
