Description:
The Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932 (sometimes also referred to as Paulista War) is the name given to the uprising of the population of the Brazilian state of São Paulo against the 1930 coup d'état of Getúlio Vargas. The movement grew out of local resentment from the fact that Vargas ruled by decree, unbound by a Constitution, in a provisional government. In early August 1932, entered into service the "Bonus Pro Constitution" authorized by decree of July, August and September of that year. These bonus circulated as legal tender throughout the State of São Paulo during the revolution. In the post-revolution years many of these bonuses were incinerated, which explains the difficulty of finding copies of these notes and bonus today. Here are shown some facsimiles of those bonuses.
