Guatemala Quetzal Monetary Unit 50th Anniversary MS 66 PCGS silver medal 1974

The 1974 Guatemala Quetzal Monetary Unit 50th Anniversary Silver Medal, certified PCGS MS66, commemorates fifty years since the introduction of the quetzal currency in 1924. Its obverse features a stylized hand holding a bouquet of flowers and leaves, a prominent geometric quetzal symbol, and the anniversary dates 1924 and 1974. The reverse presents Guatemala's magnificent quetzal bird in flight, with outstretched feathered wings, a delicate head, and exceptionally long, curved tail feathers. An intricate background of intersecting triangular lines creates a striking modern geometric composition. Named after Guatemala's national bird, the quetzal became the country's monetary unit during the financial reforms of 1924. Struck in silver and graded PCGS MS66, this historic medal combines monetary heritage, wildlife symbolism, and distinctive artistic engraving. A fascinating addition to Central American numismatic collections.
