Comment
NOTE: Counterstamp on Bolivia 8 Reales, KM#73.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 960 Réis - João Prince Regent (Countermarked 8 Reales; Cuiaba) ND (1821) coin from Brazil is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The early 19th century saw Brazil struggle with high inflation, and as a result, the government was forced to introduce a new currency, the "Réis", which was pegged to the value of silver. This coin, with its unique countermark and silver content, represents an interesting piece of Brazil's monetary history.
