This is an unofficial commemorative novelty item, not a legal tender banknote issued by the Banco Central do Brasil. Brazil has no denomination called the "Real Pope Leo XIV," and no such note exists within any recognized Pick catalog series. Jorge Mario Bergoglio's successor, Robert Francis Prevost, was elected as Pope Leo XIV in May 2025 — Prevost being American-born but having spent formative years in Peru, which gives him a meaningful Latin American connection that likely inspired this piece's association with Brazil.
