Comment
The picture is the Lot 62103 from Heritage AuctionsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique countermark, "Crowned G.P.," which was added to the original 2 Reales coin from Charles III, Spain. This countermark was used to indicate that the coin had been certified by the Portuguese government and was accepted as legal tender in the Azores, Portugal. The combination of the Spanish and Portuguese markings makes this coin a rare and interesting piece for collectors.
