Brazil 1000 Cruzeiros 1963 specimen P181s TDLR

Brazil 1963 - 1000 Cruzeiros Specimen, (Pick 181s)

The 1963 series was produced near the end of Brazil’s first Cruzeiro era, when inflation prompted increasingly higher denominations. De La Rue’s involvement reflected the country’s reliance on British security printing during periods of rapid design turnover and monetary change. The engraving quality-fine portraiture, intricate guilloche, and tonal depth-illustrates De La Rue’s technical precision even as Brazil prepared to overhaul its note structure only a few years later.

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.
