| Comments |
Brazil's National Treasury turned to the American Bank Note Company repeatedly in the early twentieth century, and this ninth printing of the 1 Mil Réis is a product of that long-standing relationship. By 1918, Brazil was navigating the economic pressures of the First World War — trade disruptions had strained federal finances and placed unusual demand on small-denomination paper.
The designation "9th Print" matters to collectors because successive printings of this type differ in subtle plate characteristics and signature combinations, making print identification the primary variable in establishing accurate catalog placement.
