Here's a nicely toned little gem. REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA AR 10 Centavos (20.5mm, 3.33g, 6h) Dated 1945. Guatemala City mint Obverse: REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA around coat of arms of Guatemala: quetzal perched on scroll inscribed LIBERTAD 15 DE SEPTEMBRE DE 1821 in four lines; crossed rifles and sabres behind, wreath around; below arms, 0.720 1945 Reverse: -LEY DE 26 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1924-, quetzal perched on pillar inscribed 30 DE JUNIO 10 DE 1871 in five lines; 10 in left field, CENTAVOS below References: Numista 5128 Mintage: 1,499,000 In NGC encapsulation, graded MS66. Only one graded higher at NGC; none higher at PCGS. From the Globus Collection. A most attractive specimen, lustrous and lightly toned. The imagery on this coin represents several key moments in Guatemalan history. The national coat of arms shown on the obverse includes a quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala. The date on the parchment – September 15, 1821 – is the date Guatemala achieved independence from Spain. The reverse of the coin again shows a quetzal, perched atop a pillar bearing the date of the 1871 Liberal Revolution – which event is also referenced by the crossed weapons on the obverse. The legend on the reverse also contains a date – November 26, 1926 – which marked the introduction of the new monetary unit called the quetzal, which became Guatemala’s national currency.
Nice, especially the reverse, thanks for sharing that beauty. Next, get your butt back out in the dirt.
