Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1890-1893 Guatemalan 25 Centavos coin is that it was minted during a time of political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1890, just a year after the government of Guatemala had overthrown the long-standing dictator, Justo Rufino Barrios, and was in the process of establishing a new constitution and government. Despite this political turmoil, the coin was still widely accepted and used in circulation, indicating the resilience and adaptability of the Guatemalan people during times of change.
