There is quite a bit of South American paper money available on eBay, at a relatively inexpensive cost, given the age. Peru, in particular often has banknotes from its first issue back from 1879 (which often sell for around the $10 mark). On this occasion, however, I purchased a 1 Libra banknote from 1922. I love these classic style banknotes, with figures of dames or allegories on them. This banknote features a woman at left, but it is not believed that she is an allegory, given the pictures featured on the remainder of the series. I’m not sure that this was a great investment at $20.50, but it certainly is a valuable addition to my collection.

Peru pick 49: 1 Libra from 1922
