| Reverse description | The reverse bears the Brazilian Type 4 countermark applied in 1663 by order of the colonial administration, validating the host coin for circulation in Brazil at the revalued denomination of 200 Réis. The countermark consists of a crowned oval cartouche enclosing the denomination numeral '200', clearly struck in the lower central field. Above the cartouche, a large cross divides the field into quadrants in the manner typical of Portuguese hammered coinage. A partial beaded border is visible along the right periphery of the irregular flan. |
