Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a mark or symbol that is stamped or engraved onto a coin that has already been minted, in this case, the countermark "CROWNED G.P." over 3 Vinténs. This countermark was added to indicate that the coin had been certified by a third-party entity, in this case, the Portuguese Mint, and it increased the coin's value and authenticity.
