| Reverse description | A draped bust of Brígida Silva de Ochoa faces three-quarters left, rendered in high relief against a striated background suggestive of a modernist architectural motif. The subject is depicted wearing a pearl necklace and period costume, with her name 'BRIGIDA SILVA DE OCHOA' inscribed as a legend in the upper field. To the left, the vertical inscription 'BICENTENARIO 1821-2021' appears alongside a stylized sunburst ornament. The denomination '1 SOL' is prominently displayed in the lower portion of the field in large numerals and letters, with the Lima Mint monogram visible to the right of the effigy. |

| Additional information |
Part of Peru's "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" circulation series, this issue honors Brígida Silva de Ochoa, a nineteenth-century comedic actress widely considered the first great performer of the sainete criollo — a distinctly Peruvian form of short satirical theater rooted in Lima's working-class neighborhoods. She performed through the mid-1800s at a time when women on the Lima stage were still a relative novelty, and her name survived largely through oral tradition before institutional recognition caught up.
