Identification note: Note is undated and multiple Pick varieties exist distinguished by signatures; exact catalog number not identifiable from images. | Visible features match the well-known Banco de Guatemala 20 Quetzales type with Doctor Mariano Gálvez at right and the Signing of the Act of Independence of Central America on reverse; printer imprint Giesecke & Devrient; blue‑purple color scheme and serial format with a trailing letter (E 35955599 A). SCWPM assigns different Pick numbers/suffixes to this design based primarily on specific signature pairs and some security detail changes over time. The provided images/text do not document the signatures or other variety diagnostics (e.g., exact signature names/positions, watermark/thread type), so the precise Pick number cannot be confirmed. To resolve exactly, record the two signatories’ names and placement, and note watermark and security thread type/position if visible.
