Comment
Law:Bando 1760
The stamp was applied during a very short period of time. Therefore, any host coin with date after 1760, is fake.
Be careful since there are many fake stamps.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King José I of Portugal, who ruled from 1750 to 1777. The countermark "M" over 600 Réis J on the coin indicates that it was minted in Brazil, specifically in the city of Minas Gerais, during the time when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during this period, as most coins minted in Brazil during this time were made of copper or other base metals.
