The coin displays justice seated facing left with cornucopia in one hand and a staff in the other on the obverse. The obverse has the legend "REPUBLICA DE GUATEMALA UN PESO" surrounding justice.

Size and Weight: Coin weighs ~25 gm of 0.900 silver and is ~37 mm in diameter.

Condition: I would grade the coin as lustrous extremely fine or much better with all the details being well preserved. The high points in the coin show wear (see the bird on the reverse and the hair of Liberty on the obverse), some loss of details and some minor scratches in the fields as well as a few bag marks. Be that as it may the coin is beautiful, great looking with nice eye appeal. It looks better than the scan suggest and would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
