| Beschrijving voorzijde | Horizontal format note with the bank title 'La Providencia' in ornate script at the top centre and 'Sociedad General del Perú' below. A vignette at the upper left portrays a standing classical female figure beside an anchor and bales of goods, while an oval guilloche panel at the upper right bears the denomination numeral '80'; a matching oval panel at the lower left repeats the denomination. A large decorative guilloche underprint fills the centre, over which the principal text announces the obligation to pay eighty Soles or one hundred Pesos ('Moneda corriente'), dated Lima, 30 de Junio 1864. Three manuscript signatures appear in the lower centre, attributed to the Tesorero, the Presidente, and the Director General. |

La Providencia was one of several Lima-based private banks authorized to issue notes under Peru's liberal banking legislation of the early 1860s. The 80 Soles / 100 Pesos denomination reflects the transitional monetary arithmetic of that period — the Peruvian peso and the sol coexisted at a fixed conversion rate of 4 soles to 5 pesos, making 80 soles exactly equivalent to 100 pesos. The dual-denomination format was a practical necessity, not an affectation, since both units circulated simultaneously in commercial transactions.
La Providencia collapsed before the decade was out, and survivor notes from the entire Sociedad General series are rare.
