Brazil's Thesouro Nacional issued this 2 Mil Réis as part of a long-running series that stretched across multiple impressões — numbered printings rather than distinct emission series. The 15th print designation places this note in the early 1920s, a period when the mil-réis was under sustained depreciation pressure following years of wartime inflation and Brazil's difficult post-WWI fiscal adjustment. The Casa da Moeda do Brasil handled production entirely in-house, one of the earlier extended runs produced without recourse to European security printers.
The numbered printing system is worth understanding: successive impressões did not necessarily introduce design changes, making print number the primary distinguishing feature between otherwise near-identical notes.
