Pick 158 was printed by two separate contractors — De La Rue in London and Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig — which means notes from this series can show subtle differences in ink saturation and registration depending on the source press, though neither printer's output is cataloged separately under this reference. The dual-contractor arrangement was not unusual for the BCR during the 1990s, as Peru was rebuilding its currency credibility after the hyperinflationary collapse of the Inti, which at its worst in 1990 had rendered denominations meaningless within weeks of issue.
The Nuevo Sol itself was introduced in 1991 at a conversion rate of one million Intis.
