Overview

A set of two uncirculated banknotes of the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú – 1,000 Intis (1988) and 500 Intis (1987). The Inti was Peru’s currency from 1985 to 1991, a period of hyperinflation, so these big colourful notes are a vivid piece of economic history. The fronts honour two national figures, Marshal Cáceres and Túpac Amaru II, while the backs show the Chan Chan ruins and the Andes. Together the two notes carry a face value of 1,500 Intis.
