Oberthur Fiduciaire's Chantepie facility produced this series through a period when Peru was still consolidating monetary credibility after the catastrophic hyperinflation of the late 1980s — the "nuevo sol" itself had only been introduced in 1991 specifically to replace the collapsed inti at a rate of one million to one. By 2001, the currency had held, and a French-printed note with OVI ink was a deliberate signal of institutional seriousness.
Pick 176 runs across a six-year print window, meaning date varieties exist within the series.
