An advertising piece modeled on the Brazilian 1000 Cruzados note issued from 1987. The Cruzado itself was born out of the Plano Cruzado — a February 1986 stabilization attempt under President Sarney that froze prices and replaced the cruzeiro at 1000:1. Within eighteen months, inflation had shredded the plan entirely, rendering the denomination nearly worthless before the series was even fully retired.
Advertising facsimiles of this type circulated widely in Brazil during the late 1980s and 1990s, typically used as promotional inserts. Not a negotiable instrument and carries no Pick designation.
