| Comments |
The Banco do Brasil's reliance on the American Bank Note Company for this series reflected a broader pattern in Brazilian federal banking — domestic printing capacity was simply not trusted for high-value notes through much of the early republic. ABNC engraved and printed the entire run in New York, with sheets shipped to Brazil for issue.
The designation "1st Print" matters here because subsequent printings for the same P#120 type introduced subtle but catalogable differences in the plate work — collectors who conflate them undervalue the earlier impression.
