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.

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.
