| Beschrijving keerzijde | A ceiba tree occupies the central field, dividing the denomination numeral and denomination abbreviation to either side. The patriotic motto appears in a continuous legend around the periphery. Along the lower field or exergue, the mint mark (NG for Nueva Guatemala), the assayer's initial (M), and the fineness designation (21 Qs, indicating 21 karats) are inscribed, providing the standard assay and mint attribution details expected on Hispanic colonial-style gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Federal Republic of Central America was barely a year old when these were struck, having declared independence from Mexico's short-lived Agustín I empire in July 1823. Guatemala City's mint — the only functioning gold mint in the federation — continued operating under the new republican authority with minimal interruption, using infrastructure inherited directly from the Spanish colonial apparatus. The transition was administrative more than physical.
Fr#26 is the Feuchs gold reference, confirming this denomination's place in the broader Spanish-tradition coinage family. The federation itself collapsed by 1839, fragmenting into five separate republics, making issues from this early window genuinely short-lived by any measure.
