| Comments |
The Banco Central de Reserva del Perú turned to the American Bank Note Company for much of its mid-century output — a common arrangement for Latin American central banks whose domestic printing infrastructure couldn't meet the security and engraving standards required at the time. This series ran through most of the 1940s, a period when Peru's wartime economic position was complicated by commodity export pressures and a sol that was being managed against inflationary drift.
Pick 68A distinguishes itself from the closely related 68 by signature combination — a detail that trips up collectors who don't cross-reference the signatory pairs against appointment dates in the BCR's institutional record.
