He commanded the ironclad Huáscar during the War of the Pacific against Chile and died heroically in the Battle of Angamos on October 8, 1879.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Inti series issued by Peru between 1985 and 1991. The Inti replaced the Sol at a rate of 1000 Soles = 1 Inti on February 1, 1985, during a period of severe hyperinflation. The currency was named after Inti, the Incan sun god. However, hyperinflation continued, and by 1988 when this note was issued, high denominations like 5000 Intis were necessary. The Inti was replaced by the Nuevo Sol in 1991 at a rate of 1,000,000 Intis = 1 Nuevo Sol. The 5000 Intis note honors Miguel Grau, Peru's greatest naval hero, and features agricultural imagery emphasizing the country's cotton industry. The printed date of June 28, 1988 provides precise dating for this issue.
