Guatemala. Quetzal, 1925. Eliz-143. Decimal coinage. Contstitution surmounted by quetzal. Reverse: Quetzal atop inscribed short pillar. Lovely original example and thus very rare. NGC graded MS-63.
This type proved very unpopular with the Guatemalan people. They disliked its large size. So of the original mintage of 10,000 more than 7,000 were recalled and melted. Those remaining are tough to find.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
