| Reverse description | The reverse features a dual-register composition commemorating the Stone of Saywite, a 15th-century Inca carved granite monolith. The upper register presents a landscape scene depicting the Saywite archaeological site with terraced structures, while the lower register shows a detailed frontal view of the Saywite Stone itself, rendered with its characteristic dense bas-relief carvings of animals, terraces, and ritual features. The numeral '1' appears prominently to the left of centre, with the inscription 'PIEDRA DE SAYWITE S. XV d.C.' arching across the upper field. Vertical line patterns flank the design on both sides, and the denomination 'NUEVO SOL' is integrated into the composition. |
