Banco Nacional Ultramarino occupied an unusual position in Portuguese finance — a private institution holding the note-issuing concession for Portugal's overseas territories rather than the metropolitan Banco de Portugal. This 1921 10 Escudos was issued for circulation in Portuguese Guinea, one of several West African territories served by BNU paper during this period, when the escudo had only recently replaced the mil-réis system following the 1911 monetary reform.
Bradbury, Wilkinson produced some of the more technically accomplished colonial currency of the early twentieth century, and their intaglio work for BNU was no exception. The paper itself is known to brown unevenly with age — examine the margins carefully against the central field before grading.
