The Caixa de Estabilização was a short-lived currency board established in 1926 under the Epitácio Pessôa-era monetary reforms pushed through by President Washington Luís, pegging the milréis to gold at a fixed rate. The institution was dissolved in 1930 — almost immediately after the Revolution of 1930 toppled the Old Republic — and its notes were withdrawn with it, limiting their effective circulation window to roughly three years.
The engraver credit to Sukeichi Oyama is the detail worth noting. One of very few Japanese-born craftsmen to work within the ABNC's engraving department in New York, Oyama's presence on this plate is an uncommon attribution for a Brazilian government issue of the period.
