| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large numeral '10' dominates the upper field, with the inscription CENTAVOS in bold relief across the lower portion. A single leafy olive or laurel sprig rises diagonally from the lower left, its stem terminating at the base of the denomination numeral, with stylised vegetation at its foot. The overall composition is simple and legible, consistent with the utilitarian design philosophy of Peruvian circulation coinage of this period. |

Peru's switch to brass for this series in 1945 was a direct consequence of wartime metal rationing — copper-nickel alloys had become strategically restricted, and brass offered a workable substitute using available domestic stocks. The Lima Mint, one of the oldest operating mints in the Western Hemisphere, struck these across two decades with only minor die variations.
By the early 1960s, inflation had so eroded the centavo's purchasing power that the 10-centavo denomination was functionally worthless in daily commerce before the series even ended.
