Comment
The pict is the coin Nr 23388 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King José I of Portugal, who ruled from 1750 to 1777. The countermark "MR" on the coin stands for "Mozambique" and indicates that it was issued specifically for use in the Portuguese colony of Mozambique. This coin is a rare example of a colonial issue from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
