The second family of Brazilian Real notes began rolling out from 2010 onward, with Crane Currency — the Massachusetts firm better known for supplying the U.S. Federal Reserve — handling production of several low-denomination issues. The suffix "AB" in catalog notation identifies the specific signature pairing of the Finance Minister and Banco Central president in office at time of release; for 2016, that combination places this note in the brief period of acute political crisis surrounding Dilma Rousseff's impeachment proceedings.
Watermark-only security on a note of this vintage is minimal by international standards — the 2 Real denomination simply didn't justify the cost of additional features given its low purchasing power and high replacement rate in circulation.
