| Obverse description | Central design features a stylized Inca sun deity or idol rendered in bold pre-Columbian geometric relief, occupying the majority of the field. The motif is composed of interlocking angular serpentine and zoomorphic elements radiating symmetrically from a central face, executed in the Tiahuanaco artistic tradition. The legend UN SOL ORO appears in the lower portion of the field, with the date 1932 inscribed along the bottom rim. The inscription DEFENSA NACIONAL arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. The overall design reflects an intentional nationalistic and indigenist artistic programme. |

| Reverse description | Central figure depicts Cahuide (Quizo Yupanqui), the legendary Inca warrior, shown in dynamic three-quarter stance wearing traditional Inca attire including a feathered headdress and cloak, rendered in bold relief. The engraver's name PAREJA appears in the lower central field, with the word PERU inscribed to the right of the figure. The legend NAUPAJMAN TAHUANTINSUYU arcs along the upper periphery, while CAHUIDE is inscribed along the lower rim, all in Latin characters. The composition is strongly indigenist in character, celebrating pre-Columbian Peruvian heritage as part of the National Defense issue. |
