Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a secondary marking or stamp that was applied to the coin after it was minted. In this case, the countermark "AÇOR" was added over the V Reais/Sebastião, indicating that the coin was issued by the Portuguese King António I in the Azores Islands. This countermark was used to verify the authenticity of the coin and to indicate its origin.
