Mint
Casa de Moneda de Guatemala, Guatemala City, Guatemala (1733-date)Comments
(en) After Rafael Carrera's death, all coins with his portrait and coat of arms were to be destroyed because of popular rejection to the deceased dictator. But with the mint having trouble to provide new coins on August 10 1894, the government authorized their counter-stamping at the mint, with official 1/2 Real of 1894, to legitimize their circulation by placing the new coat of arms over the old one and Justice on top of Carrera's face.
