5 cruzeiros brazil [solved]

5 Cruzeiros (Thesouro Nacional; 2nd print; "Valor Legal") - Brazil – Numista

Hello,

Why this banknotes has different entries for P# 176d, for different series, why would it matter?

Hello.

The distinction follows Brazilian cataloging criteria (where the main references are Bentes and Amato).

The SCWPM distinguished P#176c and P#176d only by the signatures; however, there was an intercalation of series periods between these two variants (as can be seen in the annual lines).

For a common non-Brazilian collector, these variations are not so important, with one unit of P#176c and one of P#176d in their collections being enough. But for those more advanced in Brazilian banknotes, this separation is widely cataloged.

Vladimir.

Nice, thanks for explaining!
