This is one of a series of circulating commemoratives issued in the 1920's and 1930's which today form an interesting but inexpensive set. This particular one commemorates the Viscount of Mauá. It is the second to last of the denomination and was struck 1936-38. The réis was abolished in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.

Wikipedia comments, "Irineu Evangelista de Sousa, the Viscount of Mauá (28 December 1813 – 21 October 1889), was a Brazilian entrepreneur, industrialist, banker and politician. Born to a family of small estancieiros (ranchers), Sousa became one of the world's richest men; by 1867, his wealth was larger than the annual budget of the Brazilian Empire. ...one of his greatest achievements was to start the construction of the Mauá Railroad, the first railroad in Brazil, in 1852."
