| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central design features the intricately carved Monolith of Kuntur Wasi, an anthropomorphic stone stela decorated with relief motifs characteristic of the Formative-period Kuntur Wasi culture, set against a stylized background evoking architectural stonework and decorative registers. To the left, the denomination numeral '1' and the inscription 'NUEVO SOL' are rendered in bold relief, while the Lima mint monogram appears to the lower right. The inscription 'KUNTUR WASI' is incused across the upper field, with the date range 'S. XI - III a.C.' immediately below, indicating the archaeological period spanning the 11th to 3rd centuries BC. |

Part of the BCR's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" series, this issue commemorates the Kuntur Wasi site in Cajamarca, where excavations beginning in the late 1980s under Japanese-Peruvian collaboration uncovered gold funerary objects dating to around 900 BCE — among the earliest worked gold yet found in the Andes. The monolith itself, a carved stone stela, points to a ceremonial complex that predates the better-known Chavín culture with which the site shares stylistic traits.
Funding from the University of Tokyo museum kept the Kuntur Wasi project running through decades of fieldwork that reshaped understanding of early Andean metallurgy.
