Since July 20, 2021, the tickets of S/10, S/20, S/50 and S/100. For the elaboration of this last family of banknotes, the theme used by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) focused on characters of the 20th century who have excelled in the fields of art, literature, history and science. However, the only new banknote that has not yet entered into circulation is that of S/200 and we still use the colloquially known as ‘Santa Rosita’. In this note we tell you the reason for this fact and who will be the chosen character, according to BCR sources that La RepĂşblica was able to access.
Who will appear on the new S/200 bill instead of Santa Rosa de Lima?
As the characters and elements that appear on the new family of Peruvian banknotes (S/10, S/20, S/50 and S/100) are publicly known, the character chosen for the S/200 bill is the painter and Peruvian engraver of Chinese and Japanese descent Tilsa Tsuchiya, born in Supe and whose artistic legacy transcended her time, not only for finding a communion between Peruvian mythology and Japanese tradition, but also for expressing her emotions, her pain and her dreams through Of his work.
Also, representing the Peruvian fauna will be the cock of the rocks and as for the flora, the chosen one was the beautiful abanquina flower.
Why hasn’t the new S/200 bill entered into circulation yet?
As for the bills being put into circulation, they are entering the economy based on public demand —says our source— For example, the S/10 bills were among the first to enter circulation because they are the most used in daily transactions. In the case of S/200 bills, these are the ones that circulate more slowly due to their high denomination. That is why those of this denomination that belong to the previous families are more durable in terms of their conservation..
When were the Santa Rosa de Lima tickets issued?
- The first San Rosa banknote was issued in 1995
- The second in 2009
- And third in 2012.
