Interesting 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." is stamped over the original denomination of 300 Réis, indicating that the coin was issued under the reign of King Luis I of Portugal. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, making it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
