| Reverse description | Central vignette in colour shows a female teacher surrounded by young pupils in a primary school classroom, with a chalkboard bearing letters and numerals visible in the background and the Guatemalan flag to the right; the scene commemorates Barrios's establishment of free, secular, and compulsory primary education. The left border carries an elaborate dark-blue Mayan codex-style column, while the right panel displays orange pre-Columbian glyphs, a Mayan mask, and a deity figure, all set against a fine spiral guilloche underprint in pale orange. |
