The 500 Réis of 1891 arrived during one of Portugal's most acute financial crises — the country had effectively defaulted on its foreign debt that same year, a collapse triggered by overleveraged railway speculation and a catastrophic drop in Brazilian remittances. Banco de Portugal was under severe pressure to expand note circulation precisely when public confidence in paper was at its lowest.
