| Reverse description | The reverse features a standing effigy of the Immaculate Virgin Mary in prayer, robed and veiled, positioned to the left within a recessed oval panel. To the right, the heraldic shield of the Jesuit Colegio de la Inmaculada of Lima is prominently displayed, surmounted by a royal crown with a flaming torch, and bearing the Jesuit IHS monogram with crossed anchors and floral charges. The numeral '125 años' appears in the lower right field to commemorate the 125th anniversary. The legend 'BAJO TU MANTO SAGRADO' curves along the upper border in gothic-style lettering, while 'INMACULADA / JESUITAS - LIMA' is inscribed across the lower field, with the founding and commemorative dates '1878 - 2003' along the bottom. A decorative serrated border frames the entire design. |

Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" commemorative series, this piece honors the Jesuit mission church of La Inmaculada Concepción in Juli, on the western shore of Lake Titicaca. The Juli missions were established in the 1570s and became the most sophisticated Jesuit educational enterprise in South America — the training ground whose methods were later exported wholesale to the famous reductions of Paraguay.
The church itself survived the Jesuit expulsion of 1767, when Charles III ordered the Society of Jesus out of all Spanish territories in a single coordinated decree.
