| Comments |
Brazil's Thesouro Nacional notes of the 1930s were issued against a backdrop of Getúlio Vargas's consolidation of federal financial control following the 1930 revolution, which systematically sidelined state-level banking arrangements that had governed Brazilian paper currency for decades. Waterlow & Sons printed this series in London — a common arrangement for Latin American governments that lacked sufficient domestic intaglio capacity and trusted British security printers to manage both engraving and paper supply.
The "17th Print" designation is significant: Waterlow produced multiple print runs of the same basic design across several years, with run number typically trackable through subtle typographic and paper differences rather than any printed notation visible to casual inspection.
