5000 Soles de Oro

The 5000 Soles de Oro was issued during a period of accelerating inflation that would ultimately render the entire sol currency obsolete. By 1985, the Peruvian government introduced the Inti at a conversion rate of 1000 Soles de Oro to 1 Inti — meaning this note, the highest denomination of its series, was worth just five Intis at replacement. Even that successor currency collapsed within a few years.

ABNC had a long relationship with Peruvian note production stretching back decades, though by the early 1980s their contracts were increasingly competing with European security printers moving into Latin American markets.
