It depicts Solano in Franciscan garb, his arms encircling a rising sun, Lima in the left background and Potosi, the mountain off silver, in the right. The plate is often accompanied by a second plate ;isting the sixteen theses to be disputed flank an image of the seminal Franciscan theologian Duns Scotus (1266-1308).
