Obverse description The upper register carries decorative vignettes flanking a centrally positioned blank medallion, with the surrounding borders filled with geometric guilloche work, the left border being appreciably wider than the remaining three. The body of the note is executed in letterpress with manuscript insertions in fading ink supplying variable date and numerical data. A red crown stamp applied centrally to the face bears the overprint legend 'Pedro IV 1826', validating the note's continued circulation under the new reign.
