Front: Traditional Peruvian textile weaving scene depicting an indigenous woman operating a backstrap loom, representing Peru's rich textile heritage dating back to pre-Columbian civilizations. The horizontal loom shown was a fundamental technology in Andean cultures for producing textiles that were both utilitarian and ceremonial. The design emphasizes the continuity of indigenous craft traditions in modern Peru, with the weaver in traditional dress working at a loom characteristic of highland communities.

Back: Ramón Castilla y Marquesado (1797–1867), Peruvian military officer and statesman who served as President of Peru during multiple terms (1845–1851 and 1855–1862). He is celebrated for abolishing slavery in Peru in 1854, modernizing the state, stabilizing the economy through guano revenues, promoting railroad construction, and establishing the first telegraph lines. Castilla is regarded as one of Peru's greatest presidents and nation-builders of the 19th century. The coat of arms of Peru appears at center above the denomination.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the Inti series (1985–1991), introduced during Peru's severe hyperinflationary period under President Alan García's first administration. The Inti replaced the Sol at a rate of 1,000 to 1 in 1985 as the government attempted to stabilize the collapsing economy. The date '26 DE JUNIO DE 1987' is printed on the note. However, the Inti itself rapidly lost value through hyperinflation, which reached over 7,000% annually by 1990, and was replaced by the Nuevo Sol in 1991 at a rate of 1,000,000 Intis to 1 Nuevo Sol. The note pairs a 19th-century liberator figure with indigenous cultural imagery, reflecting Peru's dual heritage. The serial number format B8827622F follows the standard alpha-numeric-alpha pattern used by the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú during this period.
