The signature transition at series A2799A marks the handover from the Cardoso-era economic team to the Lula government in 2003 — a politically charged moment, given that Lula had spent the 2002 campaign alarming markets with talk of debt restructuring. Retaining Meirelles as Banco Central president across that political fault line was a deliberate signal of continuity, which is why his signature persists through every subsequent series here while the Finance Ministry side rotates twice.
The Guido Mantega legibility split — distinguishing series B2037A onward — is a minor but cataloguable engraving revision, not a signature change in any political sense.
