Rulau Quz 33 ( Latin American Tokens, 2nd edition, page 229), undated type issued 1893-97, issued by the finca (hacienda) Arsenio Suarez in Costa Cuca, San Francisco Buena Vista, in Quezaltenango Department.  Half dollar size copper-nickel token, with a coffee branch on the obverse.  (Rulau does not list a value for this type above VF.)

Guatemala did not outlaw the hacienda token system of payments until 1925, which made it one of the last Latin American nations to do so.

The token was minted by C. H. Klinkner & Co. (1889-97) of San Francisco, California.  The firm merged with L. A. Moise n 1897.

Costa Cuca is located about 90 miles west of Guatemala City.
