The American Bank Note Company printed this note during its final years of operation — the firm collapsed into bankruptcy in 1999, ending over 150 years of security printing. Peru had used ABNC for various issues across much of the twentieth century, and this series was among the last contracts the company fulfilled before its assets were absorbed by competitors.
The watermark remains the sole listed security feature, modest by the standards of late-1990s central bank specifications elsewhere in the region.
