Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Real coin from Guatemala (1889-1891) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a decimalization effort to replace the old Spanish colonial system of currency, which had been in use since the 16th century. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the ¼ Real coin remained in circulation for several years and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
