| Obverse description | At centre, the arms of Peru depicted within an inner circle, featuring the shield quartered with a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, surmounted by a wreath. Surrounding the central device, arranged in a ring within the polished proof field, are eight small reproductions of coins and heraldic emblems from various Latin American nations. The circular legend reads BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERÚ along the upper arc, with the denomination UN NUEVO SOL and the date 2015 positioned below the shield. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed panoramic composition celebrating Peru's pre-Columbian and colonial heritage. At upper centre, a stylised Tiwanaku or Inca idol figure is depicted in high relief above a sweeping view of the terraced ruins of Machu Picchu set against mountain peaks. To the left, an ornate colonial-era facade rendered in fine detail represents the architectural legacy of Spanish influence. In the lower field, a dynamic frieze of stylised Nazca-inspired creatures — including condors, fish, serpents, and marine animals — fills the exergue in shallow relief. The legend RAÍCES CULTURALES appears in the upper left field. |
