About this banknote
The Imperial Treasury of Portugal issued the 5000 réis banknote in 1828 as part of the Revalidation Issues series. This series involved overprinting existing notes with a red crowned "D. Miguel I - 1828" in a starburst pattern, signifying revalidation under King Miguel I's authority.
The obverse of the note features four vignettes depicting animals—goats, birds, chickens, and lions—across the upper left and right sections. The overprint includes the red crowned inscription "D. Miguel I - 1828" in a starburst design. The reverse is blank, with various stamps and signatures. This note was demonetized on August 31, 1834.
