Guatemala 10 quetzales Quetzal PE X#2e.2 Bird Tower PR67 PCGS copper coin 1995

The Guatemala 10 Quetzales PE X#2e.2 copper coin from 1995 is an impressive commemorative issue celebrating the nation’s most cherished symbol — the majestic quetzal bird. Struck in a richly detailed Proof finish and certified PR67 by PCGS, this collectible piece stands out for its warm copper surfaces, artistic depth, and iconic national imagery. The reverse presents a beautifully engraved quetzal in mid-flight with fully extended wings and an elegant flowing tail sweeping across the lower field. To the left rises a stepped Maya temple tower framed by tropical trees, reflecting Guatemala’s ancient civilization and archaeological heritage. The inscriptions “EL QUETZAL” and the year 1995 complete the balanced composition.

The obverse displays the Guatemalan coat of arms with exceptional precision. At the center is the independence scroll dated 15 September 1821, symbolizing the nation’s liberation. Behind the scroll are crossed rifles and swords representing readiness and sovereignty, while laurel branches encircle the design as emblems of victory and honor. A perched quetzal bird crowns the composition, reinforcing the theme of freedom and national pride. Every feather, leaf, ribbon, and ornamental detail is sharply rendered against the reflective Proof background.

The quetzal is one of the most recognizable birds of Central America and has long served as a symbol of liberty in Guatemala. Certified PR67 by PCGS, this copper commemorative coin is an outstanding choice for collectors interested in birds, Maya culture, Latin American history, and beautifully crafted world coins with distinctive wildlife themes.
