| Obverse description | This face displays the host coin's obverse: the crowned arms of the Republic of Peru — a quartered shield featuring a llama, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia — flanked by laurel and palm branches tied at the base, with a civic crown above. The peripheral legend reads REPUB. PERUANA and 8 R. · M. · T. · M. · 8 R., with a milled border at the rim. The Manila Type I countermark, a crowned Spanish coat of arms within a serrated circular border, is applied over the host coin's field, validating its legal tender status for circulation in the Philippines. |

| Reverse description | This face presents the host coin's reverse: a standing figure of Liberty holding a column topped by a Phrygian cap, set against a radiant sunburst in the upper field, all within a milled border. The surrounding legend reads FELIZ UNION FIRME, referencing the Peruvian republican motto, with mint and assayer marks visible in the central field — here showing NI A and the date 1828 (partially visible as 28). The Manila countermark bearing the inscription MANILA 1828 within a serrated border is applied prominently over the host design, sanctioning the piece for use as legal tender in the Philippine Islands. |
