Baquíjano y Carrillo is an unusual honoree for circulating coinage — an 18th-century Creole intellectual and lawyer who openly criticized Spanish colonial administration in a 1781 address to Viceroy Agustín de Jáuregui, a speech so subversive that the Inquisition investigated him for it. He ultimately died in 1817 in Seville, never having seen Peruvian independence, having defected to the liberal Spanish constitutional cause rather than the outright separatist movement.
This issue forms part of the BCR's ongoing "Riqueza y Orgullo del Perú" series honoring figures and heritage of national significance.
