When Dom Miguel seized the Portuguese throne in 1828 and declared himself absolute king, the liberal constitutional government's banknote stock became an immediate political problem. The solution was straightforward: overprint the existing João VI regent-era 1200 Réis notes with Miguel's authority rather than commission an entirely new issue. This was administrative improvisation under dynastic pressure, not a planned monetary reform.
The underlying P#16 plates dated from the Regency period, making these overprinted notes a palimpsest of two competing legitimacies printed on the same paper. Miguel's reign collapsed in 1834, and much of the currency tied to his government was subsequently withdrawn.
