Thomas De La Rue had been printing Peruvian currency since the late nineteenth century, and by the time this series was commissioned the relationship was well established — the BCR defaulted to London for nearly all its high-quality note production through the mid-twentieth century. The Soles de Oro replaced the earlier Sol currency system following the 1931 monetary reform that created the Banco Central de Reserva itself, and this denomination circulated during a period of relative macroeconomic stability under Odría's government before inflation began eroding smaller denominations in the late 1950s.
P#71 runs across the 1951–1955 date range with minor signature varieties distinguishing issues within the series.
