The mint of the captain generalship of Guatemala, or Central America, was established at Guatemala by Philip V (1701-24-46). The coins of this mint bear the same types as those of the great mints in Mexico and in South America, and are distinguished from the latter by the mintmark G. (Guatemala), and later by N. G. (Nueva Guatemala). The coinage of gold in Guatemala does not appear to have been very considerable, at least in comparison with the gold coinage of the Spanish mints in North and South America; and the apparently meager production of gold at this mint has of late been actually reduced considerably by the correct attribution of the coins bearing the mint-mark NR to the mint at Bogota, where the letters refer to Nuevo Reino, or New Granada.
