Peru's Soles de Oro series of the 1960s was produced under a period of relative monetary stability before the inflationary pressures of the early 1970s severely eroded the sol's purchasing power. Thomas De La Rue had held the Banco Central de Reserva printing contract for decades by this point, and the relationship was uninterrupted through multiple Peruvian governments — civilian and military alike.
P#93 ran across several consecutive years with only the date changing, making year-specific attribution important for completeness. The 1968 date places this note in the final months of Fernando Belaúnde Terry's first presidency, just before General Velasco Alvarado's October coup.
