P#63 is a transitional issue — ABNC-printed 100 Soles plates originally produced for the P#55 series were overprinted to create a new denomination presentation without commissioning an entirely new printing contract. Peru's Banco Central de Reserva was still a young institution in 1935, having been established only in 1922, and managing printing costs against a constrained foreign exchange budget was a recurring practical concern.
The overprint approach was not unusual for Latin American central banks of the period, but it does create attribution headaches: the underlying plate design predates the P#63 designation, so date-of-print and date-of-issue can diverge significantly on individual examples.
