Peru 10 Intis Banknote (1987)

This is a 10 Intis banknote issued by the Banco Central de Reserva del Peru, dated June 26, 1987. The note features a portrait of Ricardo Palma, a famous Peruvian author and scholar, shown with his signature spectacles and mustache. The banknote's primary color palette includes shades of blue, orange, and tan. On the face, it displays the Peruvian coat of arms and the denomination 'DIEZ INTIS' (Ten Intis) prominently. The serial number A0314666N is printed twice in red and black ink. The design incorporates intricate guilloche patterns and geometric security micro-printing characteristic of high-quality currency production from the late 20th century. In terms of condition, the note appears to be in 'uncirculated' or 'choice about uncirculated' state, showing crisp edges and no visible fold lines or tears. The corners are sharp, and the paper maintains its original brightness without significant foxing or staining. This currency belongs to the 'Inti' era (1985–1991), which preceded the modern Nuevo Sol. The printing quality is excellent, likely produced by a professional security printer such as Thomas De La Rue or Giesecke & Devrient, evidenced by the sharpness of the lithographic and intaglio elements.
