| Comments |
Peru's Nuevo Sol series underwent a gradual redesign program through the 2000s, with the 100-Sol denomination receiving updated security features as counterfeiting pressure on high-value notes increased across Latin America. The specific 2009–2012 date range reflects sequential emission batches rather than a single print run — the Banco Central de Reserva issued notes progressively as older stock was retired from circulation.
P#190 is a workhorse denomination, heavily circulated in daily commerce, and high-denomination Peruvian notes from this period frequently show accelerated wear at the folds due to the relatively compact sheet dimensions combined with intensive handling in market economies where electronic payment infrastructure remained uneven.
