Comment
Law 3rd November 1854The purpose of the stamp is only to count the coins circulating in the colony
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a countermark, which is a small crown, that was added to the coin to indicate that it was issued by the Portuguese colonial administration in São Tomé and Príncipe. This countermark was used to distinguish the coins issued by the colony from those issued by Portugal and Brazil.
