The 9th print of this series spans a politically turbulent stretch — the 1968 signatures fall under the Estado Novo's late Salazarist administration, while the 1980 dates come well after the Carnation Revolution of April 1974 had dismantled that entire political order. The same Thomas De La Rue plates bridged that discontinuity without revision.
The 1980 signature roster is notably expanded, and includes Maria Manuela Matos Morgado Santiago Baptista — one of the earlier instances of a woman appearing as a signing official on Banco de Portugal currency.
