The Cruzeiro Real was a transitional currency, introduced in August 1993 as Brazil lurched through its fourth monetary unit in under a decade. It lasted barely a year before the Plano Real replaced it in July 1994 — the reform that finally broke the hyperinflationary cycle that had been eroding purchasing power since the mid-1980s. A 1000-unit denomination that would have seemed large at issue was already functionally modest within months of printing.
The relatively modest print run of just over 12 million notes reflects the currency's brief window of use rather than any limited-issue intention.
