| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red intaglio over a guilloche underprint and carries a finely engraved vignette of a Red-and-green Macaw (Ara chloroptera), a large parrot native to the tropical forests of Brazil, rendered with detailed intaglio line work. Denomination numerals and the species name appear as integral textual elements within the composition. The design continues the First Family series convention of pairing the Republic allegory on the obverse with a representative example of Brazilian native fauna on the reverse. |

The Plano Real, launched in July 1994, succeeded where several prior stabilization attempts had failed — the 10 Reais entered circulation as inflation was finally collapsing after decades of chronic monetary disorder. This note's long print run, spanning over a dozen years and six different signature combinations, reflects that unusual institutional continuity. Pedro Sampaio Malan's signature appears across the earliest series from 1997 through to the Lula-era handover at C1137C, an unbroken tenure at Finance that few economies see.
The Guido Mantega "not legible" variety at D3439C is a recognized collectible distinction — his signature block was reworked mid-series after legibility complaints, making the transitional prefix range genuinely scarce relative to surrounding issues.
