| Comments |
The Banco do Brazil that issued this note was the third institution to bear that name — the first two having failed in 1829 and 1853 respectively. This 1854 series emerged almost immediately after the second bank's collapse, a reorganization driven by the Rodrigues Torres ministry and backed by legislation that attempted, not entirely convincingly, to constrain the new bank's note-issuing powers.
Printing by the Casa da Moeda do Brasil in Rio de Janeiro was a deliberate departure from the foreign contract presses used by earlier Brazilian issuers. The 30 mil réis denomination sits at an odd value within the series, suggesting it was calibrated to specific commercial settlement needs rather than simple arithmetic convenience.
