Comments

Resplendor is a small municipality in the Vale do Rio Doce region of Minas Gerais, and this note is a local scrip — almost certainly issued for a civic festival, anniversary, or promotional event rather than for any genuine circulating monetary function. Brazilian municipalities have a long tradition of producing commemorative cédulas in round-number denominations that mirror the real, and the "Ubérrimas" designation here replaces the word "reais," signaling this is a parallel symbolic currency, not legal tender. The name itself — Latin for "most fertile" or "most abundant" — almost certainly references a local motto or municipal branding.

Collector interest in Brazilian municipal scrip of this type has grown steadily, particularly for small-town issues with limited print runs.
