Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Real (Pattern strike) 1893 from Guatemala made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Guatemala. Instead, it was a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample for consideration, but ultimately rejected. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
