1 Peseta Guayanilla

Guayanilla is a municipality on Puerto Rico's southern coast, and this piece belongs to the series of municipal commemoratives issued under Law 173 of 2002, which authorized the Puerto Rico Treasury to produce silver coins honoring each of the island's 78 municipalities. The program was administratively complex and drew on Spanish colonial monetary tradition for its denomination naming — the peseta having not been legal tender on the island since the American takeover in 1898.
