About this banknote

The front of the banknote features the symbolic effigy of the Republic, depicted as a sculpture. The reverse showcases a golden lion tamarin (*Leontopithecus rosalia*) perched on a tree trunk, accompanied by an image of the tamarin in its natural forest habitat. This note measures 140 x 65 mm and is identified as Pick number 250d. It includes a holographic stripe as a security feature, a first for Brazilian banknotes.
