| Comments |
The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 pitted São Paulo against the Vargas federal government in a conflict that lasted roughly three months. To fund the war effort, the state treasury issued these bonuses as emergency quasi-currency — the "2nd Print" designation indicates demand outstripped the initial run, which itself speaks to the scale of the mobilization.
Companhia Melhoramentos, better known as a paper and publishing house, was an improvised but locally available choice. A São Paulo printer producing São Paulo emergency war scrip entirely within São Paulo — the logic was both practical and deliberately symbolic of the state's self-sufficiency argument against Vargas.
