| Obverse description | The obverse features the Peruvian national coat of arms at center, depicting a vicuña in the upper left canton, a cinchona tree in the upper right canton, and a cornucopia in the lower half, all within a shield. The shield is flanked by branches of palm and laurel tied with a ribbon at the base, and surmounted by a civic wreath. The circular legend BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 2011 inscribed along the lower periphery. The coin is struck in an octagonal-edged round flan, giving the field a distinctive chamfered appearance. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the pre-Columbian archaeological site of Gran Pajatén, a 13th-century Chachapoya ceremonial complex located in the cloud forests of the San Martín region of Peru. The central field shows the stone masonry ruins of the circular structures and terraced platforms characteristic of the site, with a stylized vertical band to the right incorporating a small anthropomorphic figure in relief, echoing the decorative friezes found at Gran Pajatén. The denomination numeral 1 appears prominently to the left of center, with the text NUEVO SOL below. The inscriptions GRAN PAJATÉN and S. XIII d. C. are displayed in the upper field, identifying the site and its approximate date of construction. |
