Guatemala 1 quetzal Colibri Pattern PE X#1e.2 Bird PR 67 PCGS copper coin 1995

The Guatemala 1 Quetzal “Colibrí” Pattern PE X#1e.2 copper coin is a remarkable 1995 experimental issue that combines artistic wildlife imagery with one of Guatemala’s most iconic natural landscapes. Struck in copper with a beautiful Proof finish and certified PR67 by PCGS, this rare pattern coin stands out for its warm reddish surfaces and finely engraved scenic composition. The reverse features a graceful hummingbird in flight with detailed feathers, elongated beak, and extended wings hovering above the famous Lake Atitlán. Beneath the bird appears a panoramic landscape with volcanic mountains, calm lake waters, village houses, dense vegetation, and tropical scenery stretching across the lower field. The artistic arrangement creates depth and movement while celebrating Guatemala’s extraordinary biodiversity and natural beauty. The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Guatemala with the quetzal bird perched atop the independence scroll dated September 15, 1821. Crossed rifles, swords, laurel branches, and decorative wreath elements surround the patriotic centerpiece, while the denomination inscription frames the design.

The hummingbird has long symbolized vitality, freedom, and endurance in Mesoamerican culture, while Lake Atitlán is internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful volcanic lakes in the world. As a rare pattern issue, this 1995 copper commemorative is especially desirable for collectors of wildlife themes, birds, landscapes, Latin American numismatics, and experimental world coinage. Its attractive Proof surfaces and certified preservation make it a standout addition to any advanced collection.
