| Comments |
The 13th print of this series represents the tail end of escudo-denominated currency in Portugal — the 07.11.2000 signature date, bearing Vítor Constâncio's name as Governor, places those issues within eighteen months of the escudo's effective replacement by euro banknotes in circulation. Constâncio would later serve two terms as Vice-President of the European Central Bank, a detail that lends the 2000 signing date a certain irony.
The breadth of signature combinations across the 1997 dates — six different second signatories paired with Fernandes de Sousa — reflects the full Board of Directors composition at that moment, a routine but catalogically significant variable that creates distinct collectible variants within a single print run.
