Comment
Law 21JUL1847Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Queen Maria III of Portugal, who ruled from 1837 to 1853. The coin features a countermark, which is a stamp or marking added to a coin that was already in circulation, in this case, a crowned shield over the image of Dobrão/João V. This countermark was added to indicate that the coin had been revalued or reissued, and it's a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
