The Casa da Moeda — Portugal's mint — stepping into the role of banknote issuer in 1891 was itself a symptom of crisis. That year, Portugal effectively defaulted on its foreign debt, suspending convertibility and triggering a scramble for low-denomination fiduciary currency as silver coin disappeared from circulation. These 100 Réis notes were a direct response to that hoarding, intended to plug the void left by vanishing fractional coinage.
Self-printed by the issuing authority with no commercial security printer involved, the series has long attracted scrutiny over its relatively modest technical execution — a consequence of the mint's lithographic limitations at the time.
