| Comments |
The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 — São Paulo's armed uprising against the Getúlio Vargas federal government — lasted just over three months but generated a parallel financial apparatus entirely independent of the Banco do Brasil. These bonus notes were issued by the São Paulo state treasury to fund the war effort locally, bypassing federal monetary channels altogether. The 2nd print designation matters: demand outpaced the initial run, requiring a second press cycle at Melhoramentos before the revolution collapsed in October.
Defeated militarily, São Paulo nonetheless won several political concessions that followed — a hollow comfort for a state that had printed its own money to fight the federal government and lost.
