Comment
The pict is the coin 15744 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique countermark, "CROWNED G.P.", which was added over the original 3 Réis coin featuring Maria II, indicating that it was issued during the reign of King Luís I. This countermark was used to signify that the coin had been revalued to 5 Réis, and it is a distinct feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
