| Reverse description | Printed in red with a central vignette of a mining scene showing a miner operating a jackhammer. The denomination numeral '1' appears in all four corners flanking the central image. A black overprint applied at the time of reissue bears the new issuing authority and denomination value, superseding the original Libra Peruana legend. |

P#57 is a provisional issue — an overprint applied to existing stock of the 10 Soles de Oro P#49 plates rather than a newly commissioned design. The Banco Central de Reserva del Perú resorted to this arrangement in 1935 as a stopgap while transitional printing schedules caught up with demand, a common enough practice in Latin American banking of that period but one that makes provenance tracking across the P#49/P#57 boundary genuinely tricky for collectors.
The American Bank Note Company had held the Peruvian account for decades by this point, and the watermark security was carried over unchanged from the parent note.
