| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of two allegorical figures — a seated indigenous man and a sailor — flanking the Peruvian coat of arms against a landscape background, with the bank title "EL BANCO DEL PERÚ" in bold letterpress across the top and denomination counters at upper left. A classical female allegory occupies the lower left corner and a radiant sun face the lower right, with red overprint panels reading "UN MIL" on both sides flanking a central manuscript promise-to-pay text block. An ornate guilloche medallion appears at upper right, with the entire composition executed in the refined intaglio style characteristic of American Bank Note Company issues. |

The Banco del Perú was one of several private commercial banks operating under Peru's free banking period in the 1870s and early 1880s — a system that collapsed spectacularly during the War of the Pacific, when the Chilean occupation of Lima in 1881 triggered bank runs, suspension of convertibility, and the eventual liquidation of most issuing institutions. Notes from these banks became worthless almost overnight, which is why high-denomination issues like this one rarely survived in any quantity.
American Bank Note Company supplied plates to most of Peru's private banks during this period, often recycling vignette elements across multiple clients.
