Brazil 1984 - Oswaldo Cruz "Ancient Currency" Banknote

In a blog post I wrote last year I studied the 1986 "New Currency" version of Brazil's Oswaldo Cruz banknote. Click HERE to view the blog post. At the time I didn't have a copy of the "Ancient Currency" version of the banknote. Well, late last year I managed to find one. Now, I am no banknote expert, but I don't need to be to know it is in pretty poor condition. One day I'll grab one in better condition, but for now this one will suffice.

This banknote was issued in 1984 and it has a denomination of 50,000 cruzeiros

Obverse

Reverse
You may remember that in last year's blog, I mentioned that there was the possibility that Slania worked on the trees on the reverse of the banknote only. I have since discovered that he aided a protégé of his by working on the trees with him. Does anyone know if this is true?

Until next time...

Stay Slania Crazy!

    According to Jerzy Krysiak's article from Polish filately press this is true. Slania aided a pupil to engrave trees on reverse. She was probably the only pupil Slania ever had.
