Obverse description	Black on brown underprint, without the green '20' in underprint that distinguishes P#7. A central vignette presents a seated female figure holding a book and pen, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The text panel carries the full promise-to-pay inscription in Spanish, dated Lima, June 30, 1879, with the denomination expressed both numerically and in words.

Reverse description	Printed in blue-gray, the reverse is anchored by the Peruvian Coat of Arms at left, with the issuer name and denomination values arranged across the center and right portions of the note. The design is typical of American Bank Note Company engraving of the period, with geometric lathe-work bordering the main elements.
