| Reverse description | The reverse is plain and unadorned, printed in a light brownish ink on worn paper. The denomination CEM RÉIS appears at the top centre in capital letters, followed below by the text Repartição de fazenda provincial in Gothic-style letterpress script. A serial number is printed in the lower left area. The overall design is austere, consistent with provincial emergency or auxiliary currency issues of the period. |
