| Reverse description | The denomination numeral 10 is prominently displayed in large raised figures occupying the left and central field, with the inscription CENTAVOS below in a curved legend along the lower periphery. To the right of the numerals, a naturalistic depiction of a flowering Cinchona branch extends vertically, with a bell-shaped bloom at the top and leaves rendered in fine detail. The overall design is clean and uncluttered, with the botanical motif serving as a reference to Peru's historically significant quinine-bearing tree. |
