José Maria Alkmin served as Finance Minister under both Café Filho and Kubitschek, placing him at the desk during Brazil's aggressive developmental spending of the mid-1950s — the same fiscal pressure that would eventually force the cruzeiro's replacement altogether. The three signature combinations here track actual ministerial turnover across those years, making series number a reliable proxy for approximate date of issue within the print run.
The phrase "Valor Recebido" — value received — distinguishes this first print from later issues and reflects an older convention in Brazilian treasury note language that was quietly dropped in subsequent series.
