About this banknote
The "Banco de Occidente" was the issuing authority for this Guatemalan 1 peso banknote, released in 1900. This series was introduced during a period of localized banking in Guatemala, where regional banks issued their own notes to facilitate trade and commerce in specific areas like Quetzaltenango.
The front side of the banknote features a female portrait and a plantation scene, indicative of agricultural themes. The reverse side includes intricate designs with the text "BANCO DE OCCIDENTE" and the inscription "Libertad 15 de Set. de 1821," referencing Guatemala's independence. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Limited, UK, this note is characterized by green and lilac underprints on paper, measuring 148 x 64 mm.
