[QUOTE="rexesq, post: 1421356, member: 5739"]Hi, my questions on this coin are fairly simple, I already am familiar with the series' used after this style in Guatemala. I was hoping someone had a mintage for this year and type, but that is not my main question, nor why I started the thread. - I started the thread to get an answer to a very simple question, however I also wanted to share what I find to be a very beautiful style coin with all my friends and fellow coin collectors on CT, I like this style alot more than the style on my 1894 1/4 Real of Guatemala that has the same volcanoes on one side with the date below, the other side has the denomination, surrounded by a wreath of some type, and 5 stars below. Anyway, on to my question..... a fairly simple one to anyone who knows about, or collects this style coinage.... ~~~~~ ~~~ ~ [I][/I][U]main question[/U]: [U][/U][B]WHICH SIDE IS THE OBVERSE AND WHICH IS THE REVERSE ? [/B]~ ~~~ ~~~~~ Since on my 1894 1/4 Real, the obv appears to be the volcano side... but with the Lion on this one, I do not know whether the Rampant Lion facing left side is the obverse, or if the Volcanoes side is..... someone let me know please. Muchas Gracias![/QUOTE]
