| Obverse description | The Peruvian coat of arms occupies the central field, displaying the national shield quartered with a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, surmounted by a civic wreath. The arms are flanked by palm and laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon, above which appears an engraver's signature. The circular legend 'BANCO CENTRAL D RESERVA DL PERU' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1/2 SOL DE ORO' is inscribed in the lower field beneath the arms. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized rendition of the Pillars of Hercules depicted as three crowned towers rising from stylized waves, with the motto 'PLVS VLTRA' inscribed between the pillars, evoking the historic seal of the Lima Mint. The word 'LIMA' appears above the central device, flanked by the founding and commemorative dates '1565' and '1965' on either side within an inner circle. The surrounding legend 'CUATRICENTENARIO DL FUNDACION DA CA MONEDA' encircles the design along the outer periphery, with a beaded border at the rim. |
