Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse displays the Peruvian national arms as the central device: a quartered shield bearing a llama, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia, surmounted by a crested helmet and flanked by laurel and palm branches tied at the base. The date '1827' appears in the exergue. The surrounding legend reads 'REPUB. PERUANA' to the left and 'M. 2R. J.M.' to the right, indicating the Lima Mint, denomination of 2 Reales, and assayer initials. The rim features a reeded or dentilated border consistent with Peruvian milled coinage of the period.
