Reverse description The reverse features a detailed depiction of the Temple of the Sun (Templo del Sol) at Vilcashuaman, showing the Inca stone platform surmounted by a colonial-era church with twin bell towers, illustrating the superimposition of Spanish colonial architecture upon pre-Columbian foundations. The denomination 1 NUEVO SOL appears to the left of the central motif in bold stylized numerals, while an Inca-style geometric decorative panel occupies the right side of the field. The legend TEMPLO DEL SOL VILCASHUAMAN S. XV d.C. is inscribed in two lines across the upper portion of the reverse.
