This research aims to analyze the construction of the iconography in the coins of the numismatic series Riqueza y Orgullo del Peru and the role it plays in the discourse of national identity. It is based on the hypothesis that the iconography present in the coins of this series builds a narrative of national heritage through the graphic synthesis of cultural heritages that represent historical landmarks of the departments of the Peruvian territory. The research focused on the qualitative study of ten coins of the numismatic series under the application of a thematic segmentation, temporal and geographic delimitation to cover greater diversity on the selection. In addition, the results obtained in the visual analysis were contrasted with the interviews carried out with key informants. The main results indicate that the iconography present in the coins of the numismatic series Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú is applied through the use of geometric and organic lines to represent a high degree of iconicity that approximates cultural heritages. Also, the coins appeal to the representation of historical milestones that, for the most part, resort to the construction of a narrative about the civilizations of Antiguo Peru to prevail Peruvian history. Therefore, it is concluded that the iconography present in the coins of the numismatic series Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú constructs a homogeneous narrative of the national identity discourse, appealing, for the most part, to the cultural heritage of Antiguo Peru.
