| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised reproduction of the seal of the Lima Mint within a raised circular border, evoking the design of colonial-era cob coinage. The central motif depicts three crowned towers rising from waves, flanked by the denomination numeral '8' below and the motto PLVS VLTRA across the middle, with the dates 1565 and 1965 and the mint name LIMA arranged around the inner circle. The surrounding outer legend reads CUATRICENTENARIO DE LA FUNDACION DE LA CASA DE MONEDA, separated by pellet stops, all enclosed within a beaded border. |
