Identification note: Exact Pick number depends on signature variety and exact issue date, which are not fully legible; dimensions not verified. | Attributes conclusively match the late-1990s/2000s Banco de Guatemala 5 Quetzales type: portrait of General Justo Rufino Barrios at right, quetzal bird motif, reverse classroom scene, purple color scheme, vertical authorization text 'AUTORIZACION 29 DE JULIO DE 1998', and G&D printer imprint. Those features identify the general SCWPM type, but the exact Pick number/suffix depends on unverified diagnostics (precise signatures, watermark/thin/thick thread style/text, and production/date variety), which are not fully legible from the provided evidence.
