| Additional information |
Issued as part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" (Wealth and Pride of Peru) series, this coin belongs to a long-running program the Banco Central de Reserva launched in 2010 to circulate awareness of the country's biodiversity through everyday coinage. The Peruvian anchovy — Engraulis ringens — is no decorative choice: Peru's anchovy fishery has historically been the largest single-species fishery on Earth by volume, collapsing catastrophically during the 1972–73 El Niño before partial recovery under stricter quota management.
