备注	The Banco Nacional Ultramarino was a Lisbon-based institution with an unusually broad colonial mandate — it held note-issuing rights across Portugal's overseas territories simultaneously, a commercial privilege that periodically irritated both the Banco de Portugal and the colonial administrations themselves. This particular note was issued for São Tomé e Príncipe, the small equatorial island pair where the BNU maintained a monopoly on paper currency well into the twentieth century. The "CCA" seal designation distinguishes this from otherwise identical plates used for other territories in the BNU's network — the overprint or applied seal being the primary differentiator between issues rather than any redesign. Bradbury Wilkinson supplied a number of colonial currency printers during this period, and the core plate was almost certainly shared across multiple BNU denominations.
