Monetary unit: 1 Quetzal = 100 Centavos

here we have a 1 Quetzal note from 2006 featuring General Orellana, the president of the country in the 1920's, with a Mayan Tikal temple behind him and on the reverse is the bank of Guatemala building, with the Leyen stone (placa de Leyden) at the left.
This note has a few interesting features. First of all it is made from a polymer material, the note also has a clear "see through" window (on the left of the front). the General's hair and parts of the temple are also textured and to the left (diagonally) to the general's chin is the letters BG , on this note, which can only be seen when held at an angle to the light.
