The Guatemala 1 Quetzal “Colibrí” Pattern RE X-1d.1 1995 trimetal coin is an exceptional experimental issue that combines innovative minting technology with the breathtaking natural imagery of Guatemala. Struck as a rare trimetal pattern coin and certified PR64 by PCGS, this remarkable commemorative features contrasting metallic tones that create dramatic visual depth and emphasize the intricate engraved details. The reverse showcases a magnificent hummingbird in flight above the scenic waters of Lake Atitlán, one of Guatemala’s most famous volcanic landscapes. The design includes detailed wings and feathers, mountain silhouettes, calm lake reflections, village houses, dense vegetation, and tropical scenery extending across the lower field. The layered metallic structure enhances the artistic composition, giving the bird and landscape a vivid multidimensional appearance. The obverse presents the national coat of arms of Guatemala with the quetzal bird standing atop the independence scroll dated September 15, 1821. Crossed rifles, swords, laurel branches, and decorative wreath elements surround the central emblem, all highlighted by the coin’s striking trimetal contrast.

The hummingbird has deep symbolic meaning throughout Mesoamerican culture, representing vitality, agility, and spiritual energy. Lake Atitlán, surrounded by volcanoes and indigenous communities, remains one of Central America’s most celebrated natural landmarks.
