The Thesouro do Estado de S. Paulo issued emergency paper money during the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, when São Paulo rose against Getúlio Vargas's provisional government following the coup of 1930. Federal financial controls left the state treasury with limited access to hard currency, and these notes were a direct response to that squeeze — locally issued obligations intended to keep the state's economy functioning during the three-month conflict.
The revolution collapsed in October 1932. Notes redeemed afterward were typically destroyed, and survivors in any grade are genuinely uncommon.
