Banco Nacional Ultramarino's 1914 fractional issues were emergency stopgap notes, rushed into service when the outbreak of the First World War caused an immediate hoarding crisis across Portuguese colonial territories. Small-denomination coin, especially silver, vanished from circulation almost overnight as the public converted metal to savings. These centavo notes filled the gap directly.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled the printing, as they did for a significant share of BNU's output during this period. The London firm's engraved work is generally reliable, though the fractional notes from this wartime run were produced under pressure and with shorter lead times than the bank's larger denominations.
