Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Brazilian Bill

Question

D Pedro II
I have a Banco Central Do Brasil 10(Dez)cruzeiros bill.  One side has a picture of D. Pedro II, and the reverse has a picture of Profeta Daniel-Alemadinho (not sure of the m or d in Alemadinho.) Incredibly, I don't see a date anywhere on the bill. It is marked with the following serial #: A05567 D75227 and has a hidden picture of D. Pedro II if you hold it to the light.  Any idea of the date and value of the bill?

Thanks for your time and expertise!

Answer
Hi Joanne, this 10 Cruzeiros note featuring Dom Pedro II and the statue of the prophet Daniel was issued in 1974. It may be worth about .10 to .50 with that amount of wear depending on amount of collector demand.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
