El ayuntamiento en el bicentenario de su nacimiento. MCMLIV." In English: "In memory of the distinguished son of Castejada, D. José A Pavón y Jimenez. Pharmacist, botanist, explorer of flora in Peru, 1754-1940 [sic]. City Hall on the bicentennial of his birth. 1954." This incorrectly lists his death year as 1940 instead of 1840.
