Brazil's National Treasury turned to the Banque de France print shop for this emission — an arrangement that reflects the financial intimacy between Paris and Rio de Janeiro during the early Republic, when French capital underwrote much of Brazil's external debt. The designation "10th Print" (10ª Estampa) within the series distinguishes it from earlier emissions under the same nominal type, each print differing in subtle typographic and plate details that matter to specialists tracking the series.
Crosbie's engraving work for the Banque de France atelier was meticulous, and Duval's involvement places this squarely within the house style of French-produced South American issues of the period.
