Six six-pointed stars are arranged in an arc above the sun, framing the upper portion of the device. The circular legend reads · REPUB · SUD PERUANA · along the upper arc, with the denomination 4R, mint abbreviation AREQ, and date 1838 distributed along the lower arc, all separated by dot stops. The coin is struck within a beaded border. |
