| Obverse lettering | BANCO DE GUATEMALA GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA CINCUENTA CENTAVOS DE QUETZAL Q0.50 PRESIDENTE JEFE DE LA CONTRALORIA 1/2 |
| Reverse description | The reverse, rendered in dark olive-green intaglio, is dominated by a central vignette of indigenous Guatemalan figures — a man and woman in traditional dress, the woman carrying a large water vessel — captioned TRAJE DE CHICHICASTENANGO. The denomination 1/2 appears in ornate guilloche cartouches at the left and right, as well as in the four corners. The bank name BANCO DE GUATEMALA is inscribed across the top, and the legend CINCUENTA CENTAVOS DE QUETZAL runs along the bottom margin. |
