Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Centavos 1881 coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during a time of political instability in the country. The coin was issued by the government of President Justo Rufino Barrios, who had come to power in a coup in 1873 and was seeking to modernize and centralize the government. Despite the political turmoil, the coin was well-designed and features a beautiful image of the Guatemalan coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other. It is a rare and valuable coin that is highly sought after by collectors today.
