| Comments |
Brazil's National Treasury leaned heavily on Bradbury Wilkinson throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and this eighth printing continues that relationship. The designation "8th Print" within the P#62 series matters to collectors because successive printings occasionally show minor plate differences and varying paper stocks — the earlier printings are considerably scarcer, which makes sequencing relevant when attribution is possible.
The Mil Réis system was already under chronic inflationary pressure by 1901, a hangover from the Encilhamento speculation bubble of the early 1890s that had badly damaged confidence in Brazilian paper currency. Notes of this denomination saw genuine heavy circulation.
