The Caixa de Conversão was a short-lived Brazilian exchange stabilization body created in 1906 under Finance Minister Leopoldo de Bulhões, designed to peg the milréis to a fixed rate against sterling and halt the wild depreciation that had plagued Brazil's currency since the Encilhamento crisis of the early 1890s. Notes issued through it were fully backed by gold reserves, a deliberate departure from the unbacked Treasury emissions that preceded them. The institution was dissolved in 1914 when the outbreak of war made the gold standard unworkable.
Waterlow & Sons produced this first print, their London engraving quality visibly superior to domestic Brazilian alternatives of the period. The 1907 dating places it in the earliest emission of the series.
