1000 Reis

Banco Nacional Ultramarino was Portugal's instrument for colonial monetary management, and by 1909 it held note-issuing rights across a sprawling set of territories from Mozambique to Timor. This particular note was almost certainly issued for Angola or one of the smaller Portuguese African possessions — the P#4 designation places it within a series that predates the significant currency reorganizations that followed World War One.

Bradbury Wilkinson's involvement is the technically interesting point here. The London firm was among the most rigorous security printers of the period, and their intaglio work for colonial issuers was consistently tighter than what most European state mints were producing domestically at the time.
