Commenti

The Tesouro do Estado de Alagoas was one of several Brazilian state treasuries authorized to issue their own paper currency following the proclamation of the Republic in 1889, when fiscal decentralization briefly allowed individual states to print notes alongside the federal government. Alagoas was among the smaller and less economically powerful states to exercise this right, making its emissions uncommon in any surviving form.

The 500 Réis denomination was the lowest practical unit of state paper in this period — essentially small change in paper form, used for everyday transactions in a region where metallic coin circulation was chronically thin. Low-denomination state notes like this suffered heavy attrition through use.
