1 Cruzeiro 2nd Edition, 1st Type, Stamp A

The "2nd Edition, 1st Type, Stamp A" designation reflects the layered revision history of this series — Brazil's cruzeiro notes of this period went through multiple overprint and dating cycles as the Casa da Moeda struggled to keep pace with inflationary demand. Aloísio Magalhães, who later became one of Brazil's most influential figures in visual identity and cultural heritage policy, contributed design work to the series before his role at the government's cultural programs consumed most of his professional attention. Benedicto Ribeiro's engraving work for the Casa da Moeda spanned decades and is consistent throughout the cruzeiro issues of this era.
