The Primeira Família do Real — First Family of Real notes — was a design series introduced alongside Brazil's Plano Real in 1994, the stabilization program that finally broke the back of hyperinflation that had plagued the country through the late 1980s and early 1990s. At its worst, annual inflation exceeded 2,000%. The 1 Real denomination was the lowest in the series and consequently saw the heaviest circulation wear, making clean surviving examples from the early print runs harder to find than the face value suggests.
Casa da Moeda do Brasil handled all domestic printing throughout this series — no foreign security printers were contracted, unlike earlier Brazilian issues.
