| Opmerkingen |
The Banco Nacional Ultramarino's Macau branch issued this fractional note during a period when small change was chronically scarce across Portuguese colonial territories — a problem acute enough in 1920 that paper fractions replaced coin in everyday transactions. The Hongkong Printing Press was a practical choice given proximity; sending work to Lisbon or London would have added months to a process driven by immediate local need.
Pick 11 is genuinely scarce. Low-denomination emergency issues of this type circulated hard and were discarded once coin supplies normalized, not saved.
