Reverse description	A finely detailed full-body portrait of a Darwin's rhea (Rhea pennata), known locally as the suri, stands in profile facing left at centre, rendered with careful attention to the bird's distinctive feathering and long legs. The numeral 1 appears prominently to the lower left of the bird, accompanied by a security hologram-style circular device. The denomination SOL is inscribed along the lower exergue.
