| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two naturalistic anchovies (Engraulis ringens) swimming across a stylized representation of ocean currents rendered as flowing horizontal lines, with a pre-Columbian Moche-style frieze in the lower field showing a deity or ceremonial figure surrounded by smaller fish motifs, evoking the ancient cultural significance of the species. The denomination 1 NUEVO SOL appears to the left in large numerals integrated with the design, while the Lima mint monogram is positioned to the right. The legend LA ANCHOVETA is inscribed across the upper field, with the binomial scientific name ENGRAULIS RINGENS below it. |
