| Comments |
Brazil's National Treasury turned to the Banque de France for this series at a moment when the country was cycling through printers — earlier 500 Mil Réis issues had come from American Bank Note Company, and the shift to Paris reflected both diplomatic alignment and a preference for intaglio work associated with French state printing. Duval and Crosbie were staff talent, not outside contractors; their names in the margin indicate this was produced through the Banque de France's own workshops rather than a commercial security printer.
The "8th Print" designation tracks a reorder within the same basic design authority — not a redesign, but a fresh print run distinguished in Brazilian Treasury records for accounting and redemption purposes.
