| Comments |
Banco Nacional Ultramarino's earliest colonial note issues were frequently adapted from metropolitan plate designs rather than commissioned from scratch, and Bradbury Wilkinson supplied several Portuguese colonial territories with near-identical base printings distinguished only by overprints, serial prefixes, or handstamped authorization seals. The "CCA" seal on this note — applied by the Companhia de Moçambique or a comparable chartered company acting as a sub-authority — is the detail that actually defines its issuing legitimacy, not the bank name alone.
P#1A is the first listed pick for this territory and denomination, which typically signals a short-lived or small-circulation run.
