| Obverse description | Typeset letterpress printing in black on white paper. The numeral "8" appears at the top centre, flanked by two small typographic vignettes, with the full textual denomination and issuing authority set in multiple lines of letterpress type across the face of the note. The overall design is purely typographic with no pictorial imagery, consistent with the utilitarian emergency issue character of these Minas Gerais gold foundry notes. |
