| Comments |
The Junta da Fazenda Pública — the Public Treasury Board — was the fiscal authority administering Portuguese India from Goa, and its note-issuing function was a colonial stopgap rather than a proper banking operation. These 1882 rupias predate the establishment of the Banco Nacional Ultramarino's presence in Goa as the dominant currency issuer, making the Junta's notes an early and administratively unusual chapter in the territory's paper money history.
P#A2 is poorly documented in most standard references, and surviving examples are genuinely rare. The pick prefix "A" signals its status as an early or supplementary listing — added to the catalog after the main sequence was established.
