| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and carries a central guilloche medallion with the numeral 1 at left and right, flanking the large inscription UN PESO in bold serif letters at centre, all set within an ornate lathe-work border of interlocking guilloche patterns; the overall design is simple and monochromatic, relying entirely on the geometric underprint for security. |
