| Obverse description | The Peruvian national arms displayed at center within a wreathed surround: a quartered shield bearing a vicuña passant in the upper-left canton, a cinchona tree in the upper-right canton, and a cornucopia in the lower portion, all enclosed within an ornate laurel and palm wreath tied at the base. The mint mark, assayer initials, and denomination appear as individual letters flanking the shield at upper right. The date is inscribed in the exergual area at the bottom of the field. The circular legend around the periphery reads REPUB. PERUANA, with all elements bounded by a prominent beaded border. |
