Guatemala is a country in Central America, located betwixt Mexico and Nicaragua. Like many contemporary Latin American countries, commercial banks issued banknotes into the early part of the 20th century - the effect of which was very lovely designs created by Waterlow and Sons and American Banknote Company. Competition for banknote orders was fierce betwixt the two companies, but Guatemalan banks tended to go with Waterlow and Sons Printers for their note orders. One aspect of many Waterlow printed notes was that they used original vignettes created for the customer more often than ABNCo did.

Guatemala had pegged their currency, the Peso, to the French franc at a rate of 1 Peso : 5 Francs, but this peg was abandoned and the currency allowed to float - resulting in an inflationary period that extended for about a quarter of a century. In 1925 the Guatemalan central bank stepped in, and recalled all the peso denominated notes and exchanged 60 Pesos for a new "Quetzal" denominated currency that remains their currency unit to this day.

This note was issued by a commercial bank, El Banco de Occidente, Quetzaltenango, in the city of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala's second largest city in south central Guatemala. The design of this note dates into the late 19th century for this bank, and was used up until the currency recall in 1925.

Finally I found a nice enough one, after like a four year search...

These were used in Austria-Hungary until 1903 when they were demonetised and replaced with Krone denominated currency - the coins of which had been in circulation since 1892 and were two to the older "Gulden" - so this note circulated as a 10 Kroner note after 1892.
