10 Centavo, overprinted on 100 Cruzeiro, Brazil, 1966-67

10 Centavo banknote of Brazil, overprinted on older 100 Cruzeiro banknote, 1966-67. In 1967, Brazil carried out a currency reform converting its old Cruzeiros to Cruzeiro Novo at the rate of 1000:1. Centavo was 1/100 of a Cruzeiro Novo, and the old 100 denomination thus became equal to 10 Centavos.

The obverse has a portrait of Dom Pedro II - the last emperor of Brazil, who became the ruler of Brazil at the age of 5 after the abdication of his father, and ruled till 1891 - when he was overthrown by a military coup. Pedro's rule is widely regarded as an era of stability and prosperity for Brazil. The reverse has an image of a woman representing national culture, with a globe, books, and other symbols. 

Princess Isabel of Brazil, famous for signing the 1888 proclamation abolishing slavery in the country. The reverse has an allegorical figure representing Lady Liberty.
