BRAZIL. 320 Reis, ND (1809). Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao as Prince Regent. PCGS VF-20; Countermark: EF Details.
KM-300; Gomes-111.01. Countermarked on a 600 Reis of Jose I minted in Rio de Janeiro in 1754 (KM-187). This intriguing example shows two shield countermarks, one on each side of the host coin. While the obverse countermark is somewhat unevenly struck, the one on the reverse is satisfyingly strong. Aside from the flatness necessarily caused by the counterstamping, this well-circulated piece retains great details including a visible host coin mintmark. The surfaces are pleasingly toned to a rich gray with hints of warm luster. A charming example with much individuality. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
