Paper Money from Peru: p67 (10 Soles do Oro from 1939)
by Proteus on Apr.28, 2012, under Recent Acquisitions
I know that old banknotes from Peru are not highly values, but their classical depictions of man, woman, and beast are irresistible. Personally, I don’t see these ever getting super-valuable, but at a few dollars apiece, many of these notes are attractive purchases both as moderate investments and for collectors value. It always puts a smile on my face when I manage to win a note that is 70+ years old, has a beautiful design, and I can buy for less than the cost of a coffee. Such is the case with this Peruvian banknote: a 10 Soles do Oro (suns of gold!) from 1939. Just a beauty of a note, in the South American style of the time. This one cost me $3.65 and will find a welcome place in my collection!

Thats a nice old note you picked up that looks like its in fine condition. I’m not too familiar with Peruvian paper but it looks great. I find it gratifying picking up a new or old note for a good value and I’ve been doing just that lately myself.

I love these antique looking banknotes. The modern new ones are phenomenal (most of them) because of the advances in printing technology, but these ‘classic’ looking notes are always going to be just that: classic.
