| Obverse description | The Peruvian national coat of arms, featuring a shield divided into three fields depicting a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, flanked by palm and laurel branches tied at the base, occupies the center of the field. The denomination UN NUEVO SOL appears prominently below the arms, with the date 2015 beneath. The circular legend BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU runs along the upper periphery, while the weight 33.625g and fineness PLATA .925 are inscribed in smaller characters flanking the lower field. A small mint mark appears below the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | A large, close-cropped portrait bust of Mariano Melgar facing slightly to the right fills the lower left portion of the field, rendered in high relief with fine engraved detail. Behind and to the right of the effigy, lines of handwritten script — evoking the poet's literary works — are incused across the mirrored background, creating a striking visual contrast between the frosted portrait and the polished field. The name MARIANO MELGAR appears in bold raised letters to the right, below which the commemorative dates 1815-2015 are inscribed, marking the bicentenary of his death. |
