Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a countermark, which is a mark or symbol that is stamped or engraved on top of the original design of the coin. In this case, the countermark "CROWNED G.P." is stamped over the original design of "150 Réis - Maria I, Azores." This indicates that the coin was issued by the government of Portugal, specifically from the Azores region, and that it has been certified or authenticated by a third-party organization. The countermark adds an extra layer of authenticity and value to the coin, making it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
