The signature combinations on this note trace a compressed but turbulent stretch of Brazilian economic management. Delfim Netto — the dominant technocrat behind the so-called "Economic Miracle" growth years — appears on the earliest series, paired with Galvêas. The transition to Simonsen and then Rischbieter reflects the grinding policy shifts of the late 1970s as Brazil struggled with oil shocks and accelerating inflation that would ultimately make the cruzeiro itself obsolete within a decade.
Series A was limited to 107 sequences, making early-series examples disproportionately scarce relative to the B runs.
