Peru's fiscal position in 1879 was already precarious when the War of the Pacific broke out in April of that year, forcing the government to issue paper currency it could not back with silver. This 2 Soles note was part of an emergency emission authorized under that wartime pressure — the Peruvian treasury would continue printing throughout the conflict, driving the notes toward rapid depreciation as Chilean forces advanced north.
The American Bank Note Company was the dominant supplier of intaglio-printed currency to Latin American governments throughout the 19th century, and Peru had an established relationship with the firm well before this series.
