| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Peruvian coat of arms divided into three quarters within a beaded border: the upper-left quarter depicts a vicuña passant to the right against a horizontally lined field; the upper-right quarter shows a cinchona tree (quina) in an unlined field; and the lower half presents a cornucopia and a horn of plenty reclining against a horizontally lined background. The shield is rendered without external supporters or crest, occupying the full central field of the coin. |
