Comments

W 1869 r. Gwatemala podjęła próbę przyjęcia standardów łacińskiej jednostki monetarnej. W tym celu peso gwatemalskie zostało ustalone na 1,612 grama złota .900.

Z powodu "rewolucji liberalnej" Gwatemala wystąpiła z Łacińskiej Unii Monetarnej w 1871 roku. Ponownie wprowadzono system realny, a peso zostało zdefiniowane jako 25,4 grama srebra próby .900. Złoto było jednak nadal powiązane z 1,612 grama złota próby .900.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

In 1869, Guatemala attempted to adopt the standards of the Latin Monetary Unit. To this effect, the Guatemalan Peso was fixed to 1.612 grams of .900 Gold.

Due to the "Liberal Revolution", Guatemala removed itself from the Latin Monetary Union in 1871. The real system was reintroduced and the Peso was defined as 25.4 grams of .900 silver. However, gold was still pegged to 1.612 grams of .900 gold.
