| Beschrijving voorzijde | Panoramic view of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu occupies the lower and central portion of the field, rendered in fine relief with terraced ruins and the iconic mountain peak rising behind. To the upper right, the Peruvian coat of arms is depicted in detail, featuring a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia. The legend MACHU PICCHU arcs along the upper border, with REPUBLICA DEL PERU inscribed to the right of center. The rectangular planchet features chamfered corners and a deeply mirrored proof-style field. The overall composition combines national symbolism with the celebrated World Heritage archaeological site. |

Peru's commemorative coin program has produced dozens of issues tied to its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and this piece belongs to that ongoing series. The Machu Picchu citadel was largely unknown outside Andean communities until Hiram Bingham III's 1911 expedition brought it to international attention — though local farmers had been working land around the site for years prior and guided Bingham directly to it.
Silver-plated copper-nickel is an economy composition for a face value of 100 Nuevos Soles — a denomination that itself became obsolete when Peru redenominated to the Sol in 2015, making the stated value a anachronism on a coin issued six years after the currency unit ceased to exist.
