The currency in Guatemala originated with the arrival of Spanish conquerors, who imposed the use of the silver real. In 1543, the first metal coins were minted in Guatemala through the Mint House. In 1731, the construction of the Royal Mint was authorized, which minted the first Guatemalan coin. In 1924, the quetzal was created as the monetary unit and the Bank of Guatemala was established as the sole issuer of the national currency.
