The sol (Spanish pronunciation: [sol]; plural: soles; currency sign: S/)[3] is the currency of Peru; it is subdivided into 100 céntimos ("cents"). The ISO 4217 currency code is PEN.

The sol replaced the Peruvian inti in 1991 and the name is a return to that of Peru's historic currency, as the previous incarnation of sol was in use from 1863 to 1985. Although sol in this usage is derived from the Latin solidus (lit. 'solid'), the word also means "sun" in Spanish. There is thus a continuity with the old Peruvian inti, which was named after Inti, the Sun God of the Incas.

At its introduction in 1991, the currency was officially called nuevo sol ("new sol"), until November 13, 2015, when Peru's Congress voted to rename the currency simply sol.[4][5]

History

[edit]

Currencies in use before the current Peruvian sol include:

  • The Spanish colonial real from the 16th to 19th centuries, with 8 reales equal to 1 peso.
  • The Peruvian real from 1822 to 1863. Initially worth 1⁄8 peso, reales worth 1⁄10 peso were introduced in 1858 in their transition to a decimal currency system.
  • The sol or sol de oro from 1863 to 1985, at 1 sol = 10 reales.
  • The inti from 1985 to 1991, at 1 inti = 1,000 soles de oro.

Due to the bad state of economy and hyperinflation in the late 1980s, the government was forced to abandon the inti and introduce the sol as the country's new currency.[6] The new currency was put into use on July 1, 1991, by Law No. 25,295, to replace the inti at a rate of 1 sol to 1,000,000 intis, or one inti millón.[7] Coins denominated in the new unit were introduced on October 1, 1991, and the first banknotes on November 13, 1991. Since that time,[when?] the sol has retained an inflation rate of 1.5%, the lowest ever in either South America or Latin America as a whole.[8][failed verification] Since the new currency was put into effect, it has managed to maintain an exchange rate[9] between S/2.2 and S/4.13 per US dollar.

Coins

[edit]

Coins were introduced in 1991 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 céntimos and S/1.[7] Coins for S/2 and S/5 were added in 1994. The one- and five-céntimo coins fell out of use and the one-céntimo was removed from circulation on May 1, 2011 followed by the five-céntimos on January 1, 2019.[10] (For cash transactions retailers must round down to the nearest ten céntimos or up to the nearest five. Electronic transactions continue to be processed at the exact amount.)

All coins show the coat of arms of Peru surrounded by the text Banco Central de Reserva del Perú ("Central Reserve Bank of Peru") on the obverse; the reverse of each coin shows its denomination. Included in the designs of the bimetallic S/2 and S/5 coins are the hummingbird and condor figures from the Nazca Lines.[11]

The Peruvian sol (Spanish: sol peruano; symbol: S/; ISO 4217 code: PEN) is the official and of , subdivided into 100 céntimos. Introduced on July 1, 1991, as the nuevo sol under Law No. 25,295 to address severe , it replaced the preceding at an exchange rate of 1 sol to 1,000,000 intis. The Central Reserve Bank of (Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, or BCRP) issues and regulates the sol, which derives its name from the Spanish word for "sun," reflecting 's Incan heritage where the sun god held central importance. The sol's modern iteration marked a pivotal economic during President Alberto Fujimori's administration, stabilizing Peru's economy after decades of monetary turmoil that included multiple redenominations of earlier soles dating back to 1863. The original sol, introduced in 1863 and pegged to silver, underwent several changes, including a shift to the sol de oro in 1931 and its replacement by the in 1985 amid escalating inflation rates exceeding 7,000% annually by the late 1980s. The 1991 launch of the nuevo sol, supported by fiscal austerity and structural adjustments, reduced inflation to single digits within years and fostered long-term monetary stability, with the currency maintaining a against the U.S. dollar. In 2015, under Law No. 30,381 effective December 15, the official name was simplified from nuevo sol to sol, though this change was cosmetic and did not alter its value or circulation. Current sol banknotes are issued in denominations of S/10, S/20, S/50, S/100, and S/200 on substrate, featuring prominent Peruvian figures on the obverse—such as singer and composer on the S/10—and natural symbols like the and Amancaes flower on the reverse, enhanced by advanced elements including color-shifting ink, holograms, and tactile prints for accessibility. Coins circulate in seven denominations: S/5, S/2, S/1, 50, 20, 10, and 5 céntimos, with the obverse displaying Peru's and the reverse highlighting regional symbols like the Nazca Lines or Amazonian motifs, all minted from bimetallic or compositions for durability. The BCRP periodically introduces updated series, such as the 2021 onwards banknotes, to combat counterfeiting while promoting Peru's and heritage. As of November 2025, the sol remains a symbol of Peru's economic resilience, with the approximately 3.37 soles per U.S. amid ongoing inflation-targeting policies aiming for 2% annual growth.

General Information

Etymology and Symbol

The name "sol" for Peru's currency originates from the Latin word solidus, referring to a Roman used in the , which later influenced various Spanish colonial monetary units during the era of Spanish rule in the . This etymological root reflects the historical ties to European coinage traditions, with "sol" also meaning "sun" in Spanish, evoking imagery of the Inca sun god and Peru's cultural heritage. The term was formally adopted in 1863 when introduced the as its first decimal-based unit, replacing the earlier real at a rate of 1 sol to 10 reales, marking a shift toward modern monetary standardization. The official international designation for the Peruvian sol follows the standard, with the three-letter PEN and the numeric 604; these were assigned to the modern iteration of the following its in 1991 to combat . The is typically "S/", placed before the numerical amount in financial notation (e.g., S/ 100), though "PEN" may also be used in international contexts for clarity. In practice, the symbol relies on standard ASCII characters rather than a unique glyph, distinguishing it from currencies like the (₲). Upon its reintroduction in as a replacement for the at a rate of 1 nuevo sol to 1,000,000 intis, the currency was officially named "nuevo sol" (new sol) to signify economic renewal under the administration of President . This name persisted until December 15, 2015, when a passed by the Peruvian simplified it to simply "sol," aligning with the stabilization and enduring use of the currency issued by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. The Central Reserve Bank of (Banco Central de Reserva del Perú, BCRP), established in , serves as the sole issuer of Peruvian sol notes and coins, a role it has held exclusively since the currency's introduction in 1991. The legal foundation for the sol as 's official currency is rooted in the 1993 Peruvian Constitution, particularly Article 84, which designates the BCRP as an autonomous public law entity tasked with preserving monetary stability and regulating currency issuance. This is further defined by Law No. 25295 of 1991, which established the nuevo sol (later renamed sol) as the national monetary unit, divisible into 100 céntimos, and affirmed it as unlimited throughout the country. Complementary to these, Law No. 26702, the General Law of the Financial System, supports the BCRP's regulatory framework by outlining its authority in monetary operations and financial oversight, ensuring the sol's status without parallel currencies. The BCRP operates with constitutional independence, free from direct interference in its , enabling it to pursue monetary stability through tools such as reserve requirements, which adjust banks' liquidity holdings to control credit expansion, and operations, involving the buying and selling of securities to influence short-term interest rates and . Additionally, the BCRP oversees production via the Casa de Moneda del Perú (Peruvian Mint), its dedicated facility for minting coins, ensuring quality and security in circulation. Since its conversion from the in at a rate of 1 sol to 1,000,000 intis, the sol has remained Peru's exclusive , with no dual-currency arrangements or regional exceptions. The currency's international recognition is reinforced by its code , which aligns with its constitutional and statutory definition as the sole national unit.

Historical Development

Pre-20th Century Origins

The Spanish colonial period profoundly shaped Peru's early monetary system, with the relying on silver-based currencies such as and the , minted primarily at the Mint, established by royal decree in 1565 under Philip II to process vast quantities of silver. These coins, including the widely circulated eight-real piece known as the peso or "piece of eight," facilitated trade across the and served as the dominant medium of exchange in until the country's in 1821. Post-independence, retained the peso system under a bimetallic standard, where silver pesos circulated alongside limited coins, though economic instability and reliance on imported Bolivian "feeble" pesos often led to fluctuations in value and widespread use of foreign currencies. A pivotal came on February 14, 1863, when enacted decimalization, introducing the sol as the new national currency to replace the peso at a rate of 1 sol equaling 10 reales (or 1 peso), subdivided into 100 centavos for streamlined and international alignment. The initial sol coins, minted at the Lima Mint, were silver pieces weighing 25 grams at 0.900 fineness, featuring republican symbols such as the liberty cap, , and to signify 's . Common denominations included the 1/10 sol (dinero) and 1 sol silver coins, produced to facilitate everyday transactions while funding came partly from a 1862 international that imported reserves. Throughout the late 19th century, Peru's monetary framework experienced ongoing adjustments amid bimetallic tensions, as the relative values of and silver fluctuated globally due to discoveries like the and silver rushes. In , the country formalized a , emphasizing silver soles to leverage abundant domestic production and stabilize the economy post-guano boom, though this exposed Peru to international silver price volatility. An attempt to shift to a occurred in 1897 with the introduction of the Peruvian libra (pound), pegged at 10 soles and backed by gold reserves, aiming to attract foreign ; however, economic instability from debts and dependence led to its limited and eventual challenges in the early . These efforts laid the groundwork for the sol's role but set the stage for later hyperinflationary pressures as export revenues waned.

20th Century Reforms and Hyperinflation

In the early , faced mounting economic pressures from the global , which prompted the abandonment of the gold standard. Amid declining exports and balance-of-payments deficits, the Central Reserve Bank suspended gold convertibility in May 1932, following recommendations from the Kemmerer Mission in 1931 that had initially aimed to establish a gold bullion standard with a 30% of the sol. This shift marked the transition to a system, allowing the government to finance fiscal deficits through rather than gold reserves, which contributed to initial inflationary pressures and a that depreciated to around 4.9 soles per U.S. dollar by 1937. The policy reflected broader Latin American responses to the crisis, including temporary suspensions in countries like and during 1931–32. Hyperinflation in Peru escalated from the 1960s through the 1980s, driven by a combination of political instability, external oil shocks, and persistent fiscal deficits financed by monetary expansion. Under President Fernando Belaúnde's second term (1980–1985), neoliberal policies including privatization of state enterprises, tariff reductions, and IMF-backed fiscal restraint aimed to curb inflation, which stood at 61% in 1980; however, external shocks like the 1982–1983 El Niño phenomenon and rising debt service exacerbated deficits, leading to inflation doubling to over 100% by 1985 and a 35% drop in real wages. The subsequent administration of Alan García (1985–1990) pursued heterodox measures, such as limiting debt payments to 10% of export earnings, freezing exchange rates, imposing price controls, and expanding public spending, which initially boosted GDP by 16% in 1986–1987 but depleted reserves from $1.4 billion to $81 million by 1987, triggering hyperinflation that peaked at 7,649% in 1990. These episodes were compounded by military coups in 1968, import-substitution industrialization failures, and adverse terms of trade from oil price hikes in the 1970s, resulting in stagflation, a sharp decline in GDP per capita, and widespread resource misallocation. To combat the sol's rapid devaluation amid these crises, Peru undertook key redenominations. In , as inflation reached 163%, the government introduced the as the new currency unit, equivalent to 1,000 soles de oro, to simplify transactions and restore confidence; inti-denominated notes were issued up to 500,000 intis during its circulation until . Earlier efforts, such as the 1930 replacement of the Peruvian pound with the sol-oro at a 10:1 ratio and an 18% parity devaluation, had laid groundwork for fiat adjustments but proved insufficient against later inflationary surges. IMF interventions, including stabilization programs in the late and support for Belaúnde's orthodoxy, offered temporary relief but failed to address underlying fiscal dominance, culminating in the hyperinflationary collapse that necessitated the introduction of the modern sol.

Introduction of the Modern Sol (1991)

The Peruvian government under President implemented a comprehensive economic shock therapy program, known as the "Fujishock," starting in August 1990 to address severe and economic instability inherited from the previous administration. This neoliberal reform package included fiscal austerity, price liberalization, and monetary tightening, culminating in the currency overhaul enacted through Ley Nº 25295 on December 31, 1990, which established the nuevo sol as the new monetary unit, effective July 1, 1991, at an of 1 nuevo sol equaling 1,000,000 intis. The reform aimed to restore confidence in the monetary system by breaking the cycle of rapid devaluation that had plagued the since its introduction in 1985. The introduction of the nuevo sol was bolstered by complementary stability measures, including aggressive of state-owned enterprises and trade liberalization to open markets and attract foreign investment. These policies contributed to a dramatic reduction in , from 7,482% in 1990 to 409% in 1991, marking the beginning of sustained macroeconomic stabilization after years of exceeding 2 million percent cumulatively from 1985 to 1990. By signaling a commitment to orthodox economic management, the reforms helped rebuild and trust, laying the foundation for Peru's integration into global markets. The first series of nuevo sol coins was issued on October 1, 1991, by the Central Reserve Bank of , replacing higher-denomination coins (from 1 to 500,000 intis) that were gradually withdrawn and converted at the official rate. The initial denominations included 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 céntimos, as well as 1, 2, and 5 soles, designed to facilitate everyday transactions while reflecting the new unit's subdivisions into 100 céntimos. These coins featured national symbols such as the and Inca motifs, emphasizing alongside economic renewal. In recognition of the currency's long-term stability, the "nuevo" prefix was officially removed in through Ley Nº 30381, renaming it simply the sol to symbolize its enduring role in the without implying temporariness. This change took effect on December 15, 2015, and applied retroactively to all prior references, streamlining legal and commercial usage.

Current Denominations

Coins in Circulation

The coins currently in circulation for the Peruvian sol are denominated in 10, 20, and 50 s, as well as 1, 2, and 5 soles. Lower-value 1 and 5 coins, originally introduced in 1991, were withdrawn from circulation on May 1, 2011, and January 1, 2019, respectively, due to their minimal usage amid ongoing that rendered them impractical for transactions. This phasing out aligns with broader trends where smaller denominations see reduced demand as prices rise, promoting efficiency in everyday payments. These coins are produced by the Casa de Moneda del Perú, the national mint in , using durable materials to withstand circulation. The 10, 20, and 50 céntimo coins are composed of , a silver-colored nickel- , while the 1 sol coin uses a nickel- . The higher-value 2 and 5 soles coins feature a bimetallic construction, with a center in a ring, which serves as both a security measure and a distinctive tactile identifier. Design elements on the coins emphasize Peruvian heritage and national symbols. The obverse of all denominations displays the , the inscription "Banco Central de Reserva del Perú," and the year of minting. On the reverse, the 1 sol coin depicts the ancient citadel in Trujillo, a representing Chimu culture; the 2 soles coin shows the hummingbird from the Nazca Lines; and the 5 soles coin illustrates the frigate bird from the same archaeological complex. Céntimo coins feature a central curved stem flanked by laurel and oak leaves, incorporating the logo of the Casa de Moneda del Perú and geometric motifs for ornamental detail. These designs, part of the series introduced since 2011-2012, replaced earlier versions to improve durability and aesthetic appeal while highlighting cultural landmarks. Production specifications vary by denomination to balance portability and robustness. For instance, the 1 sol weighs 7.32 grams and measures 25.5 mm in , with a reeded edge to deter counterfeiting. The bimetallic 5 soles , at 6.67 grams and 24.38 mm in , includes latent security features like the metallic ring separation visible under light. Similarly, the 50 céntimos , made of , has a weight of 5.5 grams and a 22 mm , with milled edges for grip and authenticity verification. These attributes ensure the coins remain practical for vending machines and manual handling while incorporating anti-counterfeiting elements such as edge lettering on select pieces and precise alloy compositions detectable by standard testing equipment.

As of 2025, the BCRP plans to introduce an updated series of coins in 2026 with new designs to enhance security features and further promote 's cultural and natural heritage, while maintaining the current denominations.

Banknotes in Circulation

The current banknotes in circulation for the Peruvian sol are issued by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 soles, all printed on substrate. These denominations facilitate everyday transactions and larger payments, with the higher values serving primarily for significant economic exchanges. The BCRP maintains the supply to meet demand, ensuring coexistence of older and newer issues during transitions. The designs of these banknotes emphasize Peru's cultural heritage, featuring portraits of prominent historical figures on the obverse and iconic landscapes or architectural sites on the reverse. For instance, the 100 soles note portrays historian Jorge Basadre Grohmann on the front, accompanied by elements of national identity, while the reverse depicts El Gran Pajatén archaeological site. Similarly, the 10 soles note honors aviator José Abelardo Quiñones, with and his inverted flight maneuver on the back; the 20 soles features diplomat Raúl Porras Barrenechea and archaeological complex with Chimu pottery vessel; the 50 soles shows writer Abraham Valdelomar Pinto with the temple; and the 200 soles depicts Saint Rose of Lima with the Sacred City of Caral. The current series, introduced progressively starting in 2021 as a new family of banknotes (10 and 100 soles in July 2021, 20 and 50 in 2022, 200 in 2023), updates previous designs from the and to incorporate contemporary artistic and thematic elements while preserving historical reverence. Security features on these banknotes are multifaceted to deter counterfeiting, including watermarks visible when held to (matching the portrait and denomination), color-shifting inks that change hue and display moving effects (e.g., green to blue on the 100 soles with a ), windowed security threads with demetallized text like "BCRP" and moving images, latent images, , tactile reliefs for the visually impaired, and fluorescent elements under UV . The 2021 new family enhanced these with advanced color-shifting technology and improved thread designs specifically to combat rising counterfeiting threats. The BCRP oversees issuance and circulation volumes through its annual reports, with currency in circulation representing about 7.5% of Peru's GDP as of December 2023 (latest available detailed figure; refer to current reports for updates).

Economic Context and Usage

Exchange Rate Mechanisms

The Peruvian sol operates under a managed floating exchange rate regime, adopted in 1993 following the 1993 Constitution that granted the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) independence to pursue monetary stability. Under this system, the sol's value is primarily determined by market forces in the foreign exchange market, but the BCRP intervenes periodically by buying or selling US dollars to mitigate excessive volatility and prevent sharp depreciations or appreciations that could disrupt economic stability. These interventions are typically sterilized, meaning the BCRP offsets their impact on domestic liquidity by issuing or retiring its own certificates of deposit, thereby isolating exchange rate management from broader monetary policy objectives. Historically, the modern sol's framework evolved from a to the US dollar implemented between 1991 and 1993, which was designed to anchor inflation expectations and facilitate economic stabilization after the of the late . This peg allowed for gradual to maintain competitiveness while building credibility for the new introduced in 1991. To support the floating regime, the BCRP has accumulated substantial foreign reserves, exceeding $70 billion by the end of 2023 and reaching approximately $85 billion as of September 2025, which serve as a buffer for interventions and enhance market . A key benchmark for the sol's performance is the USD/PEN , which averaged approximately 3.74 in 2023 and has remained stable around 3.7-3.8 as of late 2025, reflecting the 's relative stability amid global uncertainties. The sol's exchange rate is significantly influenced by Peru's export performance, particularly in and , which account for a substantial portion of foreign exchange inflows and strengthen the during price booms. Remittances from Peruvian workers abroad also play a role, contributing to the balance of payments and providing upward pressure on the sol by increasing supply in domestic markets. Since , the BCRP's inflation-targeting framework, aiming for an annual rate of 2 percent within a ±1 percent band, has further reinforced stability by aligning with goals. In response to external shocks, such as the 2008 global financial crisis, the BCRP has utilized capital controls, including hikes in reserve requirements on short-term foreign liabilities, to temper volatile capital inflows and protect the sol from abrupt pressures. These measures helped limit currency depreciation and maintain financial sector resilience without resorting to prolonged pegs.

Role in the Peruvian Economy

The introduction of the modern Peruvian sol in 1991, following the crisis of the , played a pivotal role in restoring macroeconomic stability and fostering sustained . The currency's strength, underpinned by prudent monetary policies from the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP), contributed to average annual GDP growth of approximately 2.3% during the and over 5% in the 2000s through the 2010s, enabling to transition from economic volatility to one of Latin America's more resilient emerging markets. This stability was further evidenced by low and predictable inflation, averaging around 2.6% annually since 2000, which helped anchor public expectations and supported investment in key sectors like and . In everyday economic activities, the sol remains the dominant , particularly in retail where transactions account for over 80% of payments, reflecting Peru's reliance on physical for small-scale and market interactions. Remittances, a vital inflow equivalent to about 4.4 billion USD in 2023, are predominantly converted to soles for household consumption, bolstering domestic spending and alleviation in recipient communities. The , which employs roughly 70% of the , heavily depends on the sol for transactions in vending, artisanal production, and unregistered services, underscoring the currency's accessibility in non-formalized sectors that drive much of 's urban and rural livelihoods. Despite these strengths, challenges persist in the sol's full integration, notably partial dollarization in rural areas where approximately 20-30% of deposits are held in USD due to historical instability and limited banking access, potentially undermining transmission. The BCRP has addressed this through initiatives, including agent banking networks that expand sol-denominated services to remote regions via partnerships with local retailers and mobile operators, thereby promoting de-dollarization and broader economic participation. stability of the sol has also indirectly supported trade balances by facilitating competitive exports in commodities like and fishmeal. Looking ahead, the BCRP's digital sol initiatives, including the inaugural central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot launched in 2024 with telecom partner Peru, aim to reduce cash dependency while enhancing efficiency amid rising , which grew by over 20% annually in recent years. This pilot, ongoing as of 2025, targets populations with offline capabilities, potentially integrating the sol more seamlessly into digital transactions and formalizing parts of the without displacing its core role in daily life.
