Guatemala - 10 Centavos 1960 Monolith

Nice example of the silver 10 Centavos piece of 1960 featuring the Monolith De Quirigua, which is the largest stone monolith quarried by the Maya. It features the figure of king K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat. This King had a military victory over Copán in 738 A.D. and the monolith dates from this period. Fourteen different 10 Centavos pieces were struck between 1949 and 2000 featuring this monolith.
