Notes
In 1827, due to the large amount of counterfeit copper coins in circulation in the Province of Bahia, the Imperial Government ordered the issuance, by the newly created "National Treasury", of banknotes to collect these coins, thus avoiding a real financial debacle. These measures were extended to the other Provinces of the Empire in 1833, when the "National Treasury" printed in Rio de Janeiro, a total of 387,700 banknotes, whose numbering and name of the Province were written by hand, with an ink that contained tannic acid in its formulation that, as a rule, easily corrodes paper.
The first part of the bills was printed on plain paper, but to prevent counterfeiting, a filigree or watermark in the shape of a ladder was added.
Of all the Provinces, the most common is that of Ceará, but its characteristics are repeated, except for the degree of rarity, which is much greater for the other 17 Provinces.
Combating counterfeiting: Safety mark for cutting the bill, made to match the checkbook (common to all copper exchange notes).
