| Obverse description | The obverse features the Peruvian national coat of arms at center, depicting a shield divided into three sections containing a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, surmounted by a civic wreath. The arms are flanked by laurel and palm branches tied with a ribbon at the base. The circular legend BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU arcs around the upper field, while the denomination UN SOL and date 2016 appear in the lower field. The Lima Mint mark and the specifications 33.625 g and PLATA 0.925 are inscribed in small characters flanking the mint mark below the arms.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed portrait bust of José Gálvez, Peruvian military hero and politician, facing slightly left, rendered in high relief with fine detail showing his bearded visage and military uniform with epaulettes. To the right of his portrait, an outline map of Peru is depicted alongside a tall commemorative column monument, likely referencing the Two of May Monument in Lima. The curved legend SESQUICENTENARIO DE LA VICTORIA DEL DOS DE MAYO arcs across the upper field, and the name JOSÉ GÁLVEZ appears in the lower exergue. The proof finish highlights the contrast between the mirror-like fields and the frosted portrait and monument designs. |
