Comment
The pict is the coin Nr.15494 from INCMInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique countermark, "CROWNED G.P." over "160 Réis - Maria I and Pedro III, Brazil," which indicates that it was issued during a time of political transition in Portugal. The countermark was added to the coin to signify the change in rulers, from Queen Maria I and King Pedro III to King Luis I. This coin is a rare and valuable example of numismatic history, providing insight into the political and economic changes that took place in Portugal during the late 19th century.
