Brazil 5 Cruzeiros 1963 specimen P176bs TDLR

Brazil 1963 - 5 Cruzeiros Specimen (Pick 176bs)

The 5 Cruzeiros was the entry-level note in the 1963 issue, combining classic British engraving motifs-crisp guilloche, strong vignette framing, and color separation-with Brazilian iconography. During this era, De La Rue handled multiple denominations for the Tesouro Nacional, producing parallel proof and specimen sets for approval before the Banco Central assumed full design authority later in the decade.
