CA$4.00

Authentic 1987 Peru 500 Intis banknote issued by the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, featuring a powerful portrait of José Gabriel Condorcanqui (Túpac Amaru II), a key figure in Peruvian and Indigenous resistance history. The reverse showcases a dramatic Andean mountain landscape with mountaineers, symbolizing national strength, heritage, and perseverance.

This note was issued during Peru’s high-inflation Inti period, making it a historically important example from the country’s late-20th-century monetary transition. Offered in circulated condition, showing handling, light creasing, and minor surface marks consistent with circulation, while retaining clear design detail and strong visual appeal.

An excellent addition for collectors of Latin American banknotes, inflation-era currency, or Peruvian historical issues.
