The P#84 series runs across an unusually long window for a single design — six years during which Peru's economy was under mounting inflationary pressure, and the sol de oro was steadily losing purchasing power. By the late 1960s, denominations that had once represented meaningful transactions were becoming routine pocket change, which partly explains why notes from the later dates in this series show heavy circulation wear far more often than early dates.
Thomas De La Rue's engraved intaglio work on this series is among the finer examples of their South American commissions from the period.
