Guatemala 1 quetzal Colibri Piefort RE X-P2 Bird PR 66 PCGS silver coin 1995

The Guatemala 1 Quetzal “Colibrí” Piefort RE X-P2 1995 silver coin is an extraordinary pattern issue that combines refined Proof craftsmanship with the natural beauty of Guatemala’s iconic landscapes and wildlife. Struck as a prestigious piedfort-style commemorative in silver and certified PR66 by PCGS, this rare collectible features deeply mirrored fields and frosted relief details that create exceptional visual contrast. The reverse showcases a magnificent hummingbird in flight above the scenic panorama of Lake Atitlán. The bird’s elongated beak, finely engraved feathers, and extended wings are rendered with remarkable precision, while the background reveals volcanic mountains, calm lake waters, shoreline vegetation, village houses, and tropical scenery. The composition celebrates Guatemala’s biodiversity and one of the country’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. The obverse presents 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 complete the patriotic design framed by bold denomination legends.

The hummingbird holds important symbolic meaning in Mesoamerican traditions, representing vitality, endurance, agility, and spiritual energy. Lake Atitlán, surrounded by volcanoes and indigenous communities, remains a globally recognized symbol of Guatemala’s natural heritage. As a rare piedfort pattern issue with artistic wildlife engraving and Proof silver surfaces, this 1995 commemorative is highly desirable for collectors of bird themes, landscape coins, Latin American numismatics, and experimental world coinage. Its certified PR66 preservation adds further appeal for advanced collections.
