The "Printed: 30.04.1945" date in this record is almost certainly a data entry error — the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú's current polymer-adjacent cotton paper series, of which P#195 is part, was introduced in the 2010s as part of a broader security upgrade that added color-shifting ink and enhanced threading to combat a documented rise in counterfeiting across the region.
De La Rue's Basingstoke facility has handled Peruvian currency production across multiple series, a relationship stretching back decades and uninterrupted by Peru's various monetary reforms, including the 1991 replacement of the inti with the nuevo sol.
