Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1889 Guatemalan ¼ Real coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual national emblem or coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a volcano, which is a nod to the country's natural landscape and geological features. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive collector's item.
