60 Reis - João IV Countermarked 1/2 Tostão

正面描述	Host coin is a Portuguese 1/2 Tostão (Vintem) struck under one of several earlier monarchs, including Manuel I, João III, Sebastião, the Governadores, António I, Filipe I, Filipe II, Filipe III, or João IV. Applied prominently in the central field is an oval or incuse countermark bearing the numeral '60', officially applied in 1663 to revalue the host coin to 60 Réis for circulation in Brazil. The underlying design of the host coin, typically featuring a crowned armillary sphere or royal arms in the Portuguese hammered tradition, remains partially visible beneath the countermark. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and surface wear common to hammered silver coinage of the period.

背面描述	The reverse retains the original design of the host 1/2 Tostão, typically displaying a cross pattée or royal Portuguese arms as struck under the original issuing monarch. The precise reverse type varies depending on the host coin's issuer, ranging from Manuel I through João IV. Surface wear and the irregular hammered flan obscure much of the original detail, which is characteristic of these revalidated circulating pieces. No additional countermark or official stamp appears on this side.
