The signature combinations on this note trace the revolving door of Brazilian finance ministers under Getúlio Vargas and then Juscelino Kubitschek — Oswaldo Aranha, Eugênio Gudin, José Maria Alkmin, Lucas Lopes, each pairing corresponding to a distinct political moment. Gudin's tenure was notably brief, lasting only months before his orthodox austerity program collapsed against Kubitschek's developmentalist ambitions.
American Bank Note Company handled the full print run from their New York facilities — routine for Brazilian federal issues of this period. Four signature pairings across series 1001 through 3690 suggests a longer active issue life than the denomination's low face value might imply, with Claudionor de Souza Lemos as Treasurer providing the sole thread of continuity across all four combinations.
