| Opmerkingen |
The Junta de Vigilancia was a supervisory body established in Peru in 1914 specifically to manage an acute monetary crisis triggered by the outbreak of World War One. As gold and silver coin disappeared from circulation almost immediately — hoarded by the public and drained by trade imbalances — the Junta was authorized to issue emergency paper currency to keep commerce functioning. These notes were not produced by a recognized central bank but by an ad hoc institution with a narrow and temporary mandate.
Printing locally in Lima rather than contracting a foreign security printer was itself a necessity of the moment. International shipping and communication disruptions made engaging firms like Bradbury Wilkinson or the American Bank Note Company impractical on short notice.
