The second-family Real notes were introduced beginning in 2010 as Brazil rolled out a redesigned series with improved security across all denominations. The 5 Reais in this run was printed entirely by Casa da Moeda do Brasil in Rio de Janeiro — a point worth noting because earlier Real series notes had involved foreign security printers, and domestic production capacity had long been a point of institutional pride and occasional political friction for the central bank.
The security specification for this type is notably modest by contemporary standards — watermark only, without the foil strips, color-shifting ink, or raised print found on higher denominations in the same family.
