About this banknote
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru (Banco Central de Reserva del Perú) issued the 10 soles banknote in 1935 as part of a provisional series. This series involved overprinting unissued 1 libra notes dated August 11, 1926, with the new denomination of 10 soles and the updated bank title. The overprinting was necessitated by the transition from the libra peruana de oro to the sol de oro, reflecting changes in the country's monetary system.
The obverse of the banknote features a woman seated at the left, holding a basket of flowers. The reverse depicts a mining scene with a drill worker at the center. The note measures 171 x 80 mm and was printed by the American Bank Note Company. It was signed by officials including Genaro Castro, Eulogio Ignacio Romero Salcedo, Pedro Larrañaga, Manuel A. Olaechea, and Agustín María de la Torre Gonzáles.
