Comments

The Sociedade Numismática Paranaense, based in Paraná, Brazil, issues these commemorative fantasy notes as collector premiums rather than circulating currency — the araucária pine being the defining botanical symbol of the southern Brazilian highlands and the obvious choice for a regional numismatic society's self-issued piece. The "2nd Print" designation matters here: the first print run sold out within the collector membership, prompting a second production, which typically means slightly adjusted print quantities but the same design plates.

Fagner Maximo da Silveira's involvement marks this as a locally designed piece with no connection to Casa da Moeda or any official Brazilian printing authority.
