Description

Portuguese Administration. Luiz I Counterstamped 600 Reis ND (1871) MS61 NGC, KM28.2. Crown Counterstamp (UNC Weak) on (host) Brazil: Pedro II 1000 Reis 1860, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM465.

According to Krause Missler's Standard Catalog of World Coins "Decree of June 14, 1871: This first decree ordained that the circulating Brazilian Patacas of 2000 Reis, including the fractions of 1000, 500 and 200 Reis, which at the time locally had a value of 1200, 600, 300, and 120 Reis (Portuguese) respectively, were to be countermarked with a royal crown. These were eventually to be replaced or exchanged by current Portuguese coinage upon their entry into the public treasury. This countermark is also known on copper coins and on various silver coins of other nations that were circulating at the time. The following list is a basic guide with samples of known examples. Grades noted are for the basic coin as the countermark is normally found in better condition."
