Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a mark or symbol that was added to the coin after it was minted. In this case, the countermark is a crowned "G.P." over the original denomination of 200 Réis, indicating that the coin was issued by the government of Brazil, specifically during the reign of Pedro II. This adds a unique element to the coin's design and history, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
