| Comments |
The Sociedade Numismática Paranaense is a Brazilian collectors' organization based in Curitiba, Paraná, with a long history of issuing privately produced fantasy notes for numismatic purposes. These carry no legal tender status and were never intended to circulate — they exist solely as commemorative objects within the collector community. The denomination "10 Réis" is a pointed anachronism: the real (plural réis) was abolished in 1942 when Brazil introduced the cruzeiro, making the unit a deliberate historical reference rather than any functional currency claim.
The 2019 issue marks two centuries since the Portuguese royal court, fleeing Napoleon's invasion, transferred the seat of the Braganza monarchy to Rio de Janeiro — an event that fundamentally altered Brazil's political trajectory toward independence.
