The real (plural réis) was the currency of Portuguese Cape Verde until 1914.
Portuguese coins were used but banknotes were issued by the Banco Nacional Ultramarino specifically for Cape Verde starting in 1865.
In 1865, Portuguese notes were overstamped for use in Cape Verde.
In 1897, notes specifically designed for Cape Verde were introduced, in denominations of 1000, 2500 and 5000 réis.
