Opmerkingen

Banco Nacional Ultramarino occupied a peculiar institutional position — a Lisbon-based private bank granted colonial issuing rights across Portuguese overseas territories, meaning this note's authority derived not from any metropolitan central bank but from a commercial charter repeatedly renewed under political pressure. The 1921 escudo issues for the various BNU territories were printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson as a batch series, with territorial overprints or specific plate variants distinguishing one colony's circulation from another's.

Without confirmed territorial attribution in the reference data, the precise destination — Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, or elsewhere — cannot be responsibly stated here.
