    Description

    The inspiration for the
    artistic
    design on the obverse is the primitive nautical that the Mayans used to provide themselves with food: the canoe.
    The boat consists of a wooden trunk made of the tree called Ceiba (today, the National Tree of Guatemala), lined with leather.
