This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
1. All images must contain the expression "SEM VALOR" placed on the picture diagonally, with length and height of at least 20% of image size.
2. The maximum resolution allowed is 72dpi (72 pixels per inch or 28.246 pixels per cm). This restriction also applies to individual elements of the banknote.
Note:The usage of works subsidized by the Union is governed by legal restrictions, independent of the copyright status of the depiction shown here.
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
