The Thesouro do Estado de São Paulo issued these bonds in 1932 to finance the Constitutionalist Revolution — the armed uprising against Getúlio Vargas's provisional government that began in July of that year. São Paulo's state treasury, cut off from federal resources and facing the enormous cost of mobilizing roughly 100,000 troops, turned to its own population for funding. Businesses, families, and civic organizations subscribed voluntarily, and the bonds circulated as quasi-currency within the state during the three-month conflict.
Companhia Melhoramentos, the São Paulo printing and paper concern that absorbed the Weiszflog brothers' operation, produced these under wartime conditions. The revolution ended in October with São Paulo's military defeat, though Vargas ultimately conceded a constitutional assembly — which the state had demanded from the start.
