Reverse description A detailed portrait bust of the Italian-born naturalist and explorer Antonio Raimondi (1824–1899) is depicted in right-facing profile, occupying the central field. His facsimile signature appears adjacent to the bust. A curved legend encircling the composition reads 'ME PARECÍA NO TENER OJOS SUFICIENTES PARA VERLO TODO', a celebrated quote attributed to Raimondi reflecting his wonder at Peru's natural landscape. The commemorative dates '1824 – 2024' appear in the lower portion of the field, marking the bicentennial of his birth.
