| Obverse description | Olive-green intaglio and offset polychrome print. The central vignette presents a formal portrait of Dom Pedro I (Pedro de Alcântara Francisco António João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal Cipriano Serafim) set within an ornate decorated frame, flanked on both sides by the denomination numeral 200. The composition is typical of the classical engraved portrait style employed by Thomas De La Rue for mid-twentieth-century Brazilian issues. |

| Comments |
Brazil's Tesouro Nacional issued several denominations through Thomas De La Rue in London during the late 1940s, a period when the country's domestic printing capacity was being supplemented — and sometimes bypassed entirely — by British security printers. The "autographed" designation for this second print indicates manuscript signatures applied directly to the note rather than facsimile signatures incorporated into the engraved plate, a practice that was already becoming obsolete at this denomination level by the early 1950s.
The P#147 series is not especially rare, but second-print examples with intact original signatures draw consistent attention from Brazilian specialists.
