GUATEMALA. Independence Silver Medal, 1821. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, AU Details Gold Shield. Fonrobert-7206. By José Casildo España. Struck to commemorate the September 15, 1821 declaration of independence. Worker chiseling inscription at base of obelisk, arms of Guatemala resting against on top, five other obelisks to right in background representing other American mints in their order of founding; Reverse: Winged angel touching two globes with broken chains at feet, the continents on each personified with hands reaching toward each other. A seldom encountered original version of this commemorative medal with lovely intricate and meaningful motifs displaying light attractive gray tone with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices. Upon close inspection scratches are noticed on the reverse, in the open fields above the design and on the left obelisk as indicated on the PCGS holder. Despite its shortcomings this important aspect of Guatemalan numismatics is sure to catch the attention of many specialists.
