Front: Ruins of Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian adobe city in the Americas, built by the Chimú civilization near present-day Trujillo, Peru, around 850 CE and serving as their capital until conquest by the Inca Empire around 1470. The site features monumental mud-brick architecture with intricate geometric friezes and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. The front also displays a Chimú ceremonial knife (tumi) with ornate decorative elements at left, representing the sophisticated metalwork of this coastal culture.

Back: Nicolás de Piérola (1839-1913), Peruvian politician who served twice as President of Peru (1879-1881 during the War of the Pacific and 1895-1899), known for his fiscal reforms and modernization efforts. De Piérola played a crucial role in Peru's political and economic development during the late 19th century, implementing the gold standard and establishing the foundations of modern Peruvian banking. The Peruvian national coat of arms appears at center, featuring the vicuña, cinchona tree, and cornucopia symbolizing the country's natural wealth.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Inti currency series issued by the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú from 1985 to 1991. The Inti replaced the Sol at a rate of 1 Inti = 1,000 Soles in 1985 during a period of severe hyperinflation. The printed date '26 DE JUNIO DE 1987' confirms this specific note was issued on June 26, 1987. The Inti itself was short-lived, suffering from continued hyperinflation throughout the late 1980s, with Peru experiencing one of the world's worst hyperinflation episodes. By 1991, the Inti was replaced by the Nuevo Sol at a rate of 1 Nuevo Sol = 1,000,000 Intis. The note was printed by Thomas De La Rue, the British security printing company, as indicated by the inscription at bottom left of the front. The 1000 Intis denomination represents one of the higher values in this series, reflecting the ongoing currency devaluation during this turbulent economic period.
