| Obverse description | The Peruvian national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring the three-quartered shield divided into sections depicting a vicuña at upper left, a cinchona tree at upper right, and a cornucopia over a blue field at base, surmounted by a civic wreath. The shield is flanked by a palm branch to the left and an olive branch to the right, tied together at the base with a ribbon. The circular legend BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2013 appears in the lower field beneath the coat of arms. |

| Additional information |
Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" series, this issue celebrates cacao cultivation in a country where the plant has been harvested since pre-Columbian times — centuries before European contact. Peru is now among the world's leading producers of fine-flavor cacao, a classification covering only around 8% of global output, and the Banco Central used this series deliberately to assert that agricultural identity on circulating coinage.
KM#375 is one of several collector-oriented issues in the series struck in nickel brass rather than the bimetallic format of standard circulation Nuevos Soles — a distinction worth noting for type collectors.
