Reverse description The reverse displays the bold numeral '25' in large raised figures dominating the central field, with the denomination legend CENTAVOS inscribed beneath in smaller capitals. A graceful sprig of the cantuta flower (Cantua buxifolia), the national flower of Peru, arches across the upper right portion of the field, rendered in fine relief with open blooms and foliage extending toward the lower right. The field is otherwise unadorned, lending a clean, modern aesthetic to the design.
