| Reverse description | The reverse presents the early republican coat of arms of Peru set within an elaborate wreath of laurel and palm branches tied at the base. The quartered shield displays a vicuña in the upper left canton, a cinchona tree in the upper right, and a cornucopia in the lower half, all emblematic of Peru's natural wealth. The shield is surmounted by an open civic crown. The surrounding legend, interrupted by bullet separators, reads REPUB • PERUANA • with the mint mark LIMAE, denomination 8R, assayer initials J•M, and date 1827 distributed around the periphery within a toothed border. |
