Comment
The above pict is the coin Nr.15712 from INCM MuseumCountermark "Crowned G.P."
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a secondary marking or stamp that was applied to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin, "CROWNED G.P.," is believed to have been added by a private entity, rather than the official mint, and it is thought to have been used to indicate that the coin was issued under the authority of King Luiz I of Portugal. This adds a unique element to the coin's history and makes it stand out among other coins of the same era.
