Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 125 Réis - João IV (Countermarked 1 Tostão) ND (1663) silver coin from Brazil is that it was issued during the reign of King João IV, who was the first king of the Portuguese Restoration and ruled from 1640 until his death in 1656. The coin was countermarked with a "1 Tostão" stamp, which was a mark of authentication used by the Portuguese mint during that time period. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Brazilian numismatic history, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item.
