| Comments |
The Banco Emissor do Norte was one of several regional banks empowered to issue currency under Brazil's short-lived 1888–1890 banking reform, which dramatically loosened note-issuing privileges in the final years of the Empire and the chaotic first months of the Republic. The Norte bank, based in Recife, received its charter just as the political ground was shifting — Dom Pedro II was deposed in November 1889, and the new republican government quickly moved to consolidate emission rights away from regional institutions.
The American Bank Note Company handled printing for several of these Brazilian regional issuers simultaneously, which means plate workmanship is consistently high even for banks that barely survived long enough to circulate their notes widely. The Banco Emissor do Norte collapsed before its emission program reached anything close to full deployment.
