Comment
The picture is the coin 15685 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features 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." was added over the original 6 Vinténs design of Pedro II, indicating that the coin was issued under the reign of King Luis I. This countermark was used to indicate that the coin was issued by the government of the Azores, which was a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. This coin is a unique example of how coins were used as a means of communication and identification in different regions, and it highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of Portugal.
