Peru's fiscal position collapsed rapidly after the War of the Pacific began in April 1879 — Chile declared war on Bolivia first, then Peru in early April, drawing Lima into a conflict it was wholly unprepared to finance. This note was issued that same year, part of a forced monetization effort to cover military expenditures as silver coin disappeared from circulation almost immediately. The government effectively printed its way through the opening phase of the war.
ABNC produced the plates in New York well before hostilities, the company having secured a series of Peruvian contracts through the 1870s. By 1881, Chilean forces occupied Lima and the issuing authority ceased to function.
