This Guatemalan real is a significant example of Guatemala's monetary transition at the end of the 19th century. The date '1899/8' indicates that this coin was re-minted or reused from previous dies. The design commemorates Central America's independence in 1821 and the Liberal Revolution of 1871 in Guatemala.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make it absolutely clear that I ship from Spain. This means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (for 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 is completely out of our control. Thank you for your understanding.
