Reverse description A highly detailed, sculptural depiction of the Colca Canyon fills the entire reverse field, rendered in high relief with a richly textured rocky cliff face dominating the composition. An Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is shown in full flight at center, its wings spread wide as it soars through the canyon depths against the dramatic stone backdrop. The curved legend CAÑÓN DEL COLCA · MARAVILLAS NATURALES is inscribed along the upper right periphery, following the contour of the coin. The naturalistic style and deep relief give the scene a vivid, almost three-dimensional quality.
