| Comments |
This note spans a decade of turbulent Brazilian economic management, with three distinct signature combinations tracking the revolving cast of Finance Ministers and Central Bank governors through the military government years. The Delfim Netto pairing alone — his second major stint controlling Brazilian economic policy — signals the early 1970s "miracle" period, before the oil shock dismantled the model.
Casa da Moeda produced the entire run domestically, part of a broader push during this period to reduce dependence on foreign security printers. Aloísio Magalhães, who later became a significant figure in Brazilian cultural policy, brought a designer's sensibility to the series that set it apart from earlier Banco do Brasil issues.
