Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1894-1899 Guatemalan 2 Reales coin is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a broader effort to modernize Guatemala's currency and economy, which had been struggling with inflation and instability in the late 19th century. Despite these challenges, the 2 Reales coin remained in circulation for several years and is still sought after by collectors today.
