| Comments |
Peru's nuevo sol series, introduced following the 1991 monetary reform that replaced the catastrophically inflated inti, was printed by De La Rue across multiple contracts spanning the 1990s and 2000s. The 2001 date on this note places it well into the post-hyperinflation stabilization period, when the Central Reserve Bank was quietly consolidating the series rather than issuing anything structurally new.
De La Rue's contract for Peruvian notes during this period is worth noting — the printer supplied multiple denominations simultaneously, and minor plate variations between print runs of the same denomination and date exist but are rarely catalogued systematically.
