Anmerkungen

Banco Nacional Ultramarino issued this note for Portuguese India — Goa, Daman, and Diu — where the rupia remained the unit of account long after metropolitan Portugal had moved to the escudo. The 500-rupias denomination sat at the very top of everyday practical use; larger values existed on paper but rarely moved through trade hands.

Bradbury Wilkinson produced the series from their New Malden works, a firm whose intaglio security printing was then considered among the tightest in the business. The 1945 date places production during the final year of the Second World War, when Portuguese India's neutral status had made Goa an unusually active transit point for commerce and intelligence traffic alike.
