This note was issued in the final year of the Portuguese constitutional monarchy — Dom Manuel II was deposed by the republican revolution of 5 October 1910, just months after notes of this series entered circulation. Whether a given example predates or postdates the revolution by weeks is impossible to determine from the note alone, since the Banco de Portugal continued operating through the regime change without interruption.
Printing in-house at the Estamparia do Banco de Portugal was a deliberate policy choice, avoiding the foreign security printers — Waterlow, Bradbury Wilkinson — that many contemporary central banks depended on.
