Description
Brazil ND(1835) 40 Reis KM#444.1 Countermark on 1827R 80 Reis Host Copper Coin
Countermarked coinage, 1835. In order to prevent chaotic conditions resulting from local and private countermarking, the government passed Law #54 of 6 October 1835 ordering all coppers countermarked. The countermarks consist of neat numerals within a circle, having a plain or shaded field. These countermarks were applied to various Brazillian coinage from 1799 to 1833.
