National Day of Dignity for Victims From the Civil War

Civil War in Guatemala just ended on the 29th of December of 1996. Since then, our One Quetzal coin Says “Peace“.

During that time thousands of people, mostly indigenous were killed, disappeared, thrown out of their lands, and treated as slaves. This is a day for Guatemalans to remember what should never happen again and why, as well as loved ones who died during that time.
