One of the more politically charged state treasury notes in Brazilian numismatic history. The signature of Leonel Brizola — then governor of Rio Grande do Sul and already a prominent figure on the Brazilian left — gives this note an unusual resonance. Within three years of this issue, Brizola would organize armed resistance to prevent a military coup following the resignation of Jânio Quadros, and by 1964 he was in exile after the coup that overthrew his brother-in-law João Goulart.
Livraria do Globo in Porto Alegre, better known as a publishing house, handled printing for the state treasury — a pairing that was practical rather than odd given the firm's established engraving and lithographic capacity.
