| Beschrijving voorzijde | Brown-toned note with walled city vignettes at upper left and right, flanking a central headpiece of two cherubs bearing garlands. The face carries the original printed text of the 1799 apólice issue, over which a red crowned circular overprint reading 'D. Miguel I - 1828' in a starburst cartouche has been applied to validate the note under the Miguelist regime. |

When Dom Miguel seized the Portuguese throne in 1828 and declared himself absolute king, the existing stock of João VI-era treasury notes presented a logistical and political problem. Rather than print entirely new paper, the Real Erário applied an overprint to earlier John Prince Regent issues — a cheap and fast solution that effectively erased, in official ink, the constitutional monarchy's paper currency and replaced it with something bearing Miguel's authority.
The overprint series is catalogued as P#34 but is rarely encountered in any grade. Miguel's reign collapsed in 1834 when liberal forces under Dona Maria II prevailed, and most Miguelite financial instruments were systematically withdrawn.
