GUATEMALA: Republic, AR 25 centavos, 1964, KM-263, Concepción Ramírez, a fantastic quality example! PCGS graded MS66. This type shows María de la Concepción Ramírez Mendoza, peace activist, wearing a tocoyal head-dress. In 1959, at the age of 17, her portrait was chosen to feature on the 25-centavo coin as a result of a competition to find the 'prettiest indigenous woman' in Guatemala. The portrait was prepared from photographs by the artist Alfredo Gálvez Suárez. People refer to her portrait as the "woman of the choca" and is recognised by people across the country. Ramírez was a spokesperson for Tz'utujil culture and was passionate about keeping its traditions and language alive.
