The one and five pesos would grade About Uncirculated or better while the 20 pesos would grade a good very fine.

Size: The one peso banknote measures ~4 1/4" by ~2 1/2", the five pesos measures ~4 1/4" by ~2 1/2", and the 20 pesos measures ~5 3/8" by ~2 5/8 .
Pick Number: The one peso is Pick number S672, the 5 pesos is pick number S675. and the 20 pesos is pick number S684.
Condition: I would grade the one and five pesos as about uncirculated with minimum issues. The one peso has a bump near the bottom left corner, while the 5 peso has a bump near the bottom right corner and a small fold in the top right corner. These are not from circulation but rather from handling. The twenty pesos would grade good very fine, it has folds, bumps and some light edge roughness. All three notes have no graffiti, no pinholes, no tears and no splits. The notes are clean with no stains. The one peso has a hand written CS, in grayish ink, near the bottom right corner, which appears to have happened at a later date and has resulted in a ink showing through to the back. Be that as it may, all three notes are in fine condition and are worthy of a spot in any collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
