Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Real coin from Guatemala (1879-1886) is that it was minted with a unique blend of metals, specifically 83.5% silver and 16.5% copper. This composition was used to create a coin that was both durable and aesthetically pleasing, with a distinctive silver color and a slight copper tint. This blend of metals was a common practice in coinage during that time period, but it's still an interesting aspect of this coin's history.
