| Comments |
Peru introduced the Nuevo Sol in 1991 as part of a monetary restructuring that replaced the Inti at a rate of one million to one — the Inti having been destroyed by hyperinflation that peaked at over 7,000% annually in 1990. The dual-printer attribution on this series, De La Rue in London and the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome, is unusual and likely reflects staggered production contracts rather than a single shared print run.
