The Junta Fiscal del Perú was a short-lived emergency authority created during the Chilean occupation of Lima in the War of the Pacific. With the Peruvian government effectively collapsed and Chilean forces controlling the capital, the Junta issued paper currency in a desperate attempt to maintain some functional economy in occupied territory. Chilean authorities were openly hostile to the notes, and their acceptance was inconsistently enforced.

Counterfeiting was reported almost immediately after issue. Surviving examples frequently show the kind of rough handling consistent with a currency nobody fully trusted but everyone was forced to use.
