Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 200 Réis - Afonso VI (Countermarked over Tostão/Portugal) ND (1663-1667) coin from Brazil is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was minted during the reign of King Afonso VI, who ruled Portugal and its colonies from 1656 to 1683. During this time, Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, and the coinage was overseen by the Portuguese Crown. The countermark on the coin, which features the letters "Tostão" and "Portugal," indicates that it was issued specifically for use in Brazil. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
