Comment
The picture was in Lot 63054 from Heritage AuctionsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Portugal. The country was facing a severe financial crisis, and the government decided to introduce a new currency, the Cruzado, to address the issue. The 600 Réis coin was countermarked with the Crowned G.P. symbol, indicating that it was issued under the new currency system. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Portugal during that time.
