| Comments |
The "Valor Recebido" inscription — "value received" — distinguishes this second printing from the first-series notes and reflects a specific legal phrasing required under Brazilian fiscal law for treasury obligations of this class. Thomas De La Rue produced the plates in London, though the notes circulated domestically in a Brazil undergoing chronic inflation that would eventually force the 1967 monetary reform introducing the cruzeiro novo at a 1,000-to-1 ratio — making this 1,000-cruzeiro denomination practically obsolete before the decade was out.
Victor Meirelles, credited for the design, was one of Brazil's foremost 19th-century academic painters, best known for his monumental history paintings in Rio de Janeiro.
