The Caixa de Conversão was established in 1906 under Finance Minister Leopoldo de Bulhões as a direct response to chronic exchange rate instability that had plagued Brazilian trade since the 1890s. Its mechanism was straightforward: gold or foreign currency deposited at the fixed rate of 15 pence to the milréis would be issued as convertible notes — a hard-backed paper supply deliberately separated from the inflationary emissions of the Banco do Brasil.
Waterlow & Sons produced the plates in London, and the series is generally well-executed for its period. The convertibility guarantee proved short-lived; the Caixa was suspended in 1914 when the outbreak of war drained gold reserves and made the fixed peg untenable.
