The bank title 'BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU' appears in a cartouche at the top, with the denomination 'DIEZ SOLES DE ORO' in a bold panel across the lower center, flanked by the numeral '10' at each corner. Date and place of issue appear at lower right, with three manuscript facsimile signatures of bank officials along the bottom margin. |

The P#82A belongs to a short-lived series issued during Peru's relatively stable soles de oro period, before the inflationary pressures of the late 1960s forced successive redesigns and denomination creep. Thomas De La Rue handled the full production run in London, a relationship the Banco Central de Reserva had maintained since earlier decades and would continue well into the 1970s.
The two-year issue window — 1960 to 1961 — suggests either a planned replacement series was already in preparation or print quantities were sufficient to cover demand without reorder.
