| 背面描述 | The reverse retains the residual design of the host coin, which derives from a Brazilian 6,400 Reis gold piece. The original Portuguese royal arms and surrounding legend remain partially visible beneath the countermarks, though the precise state of preservation varies by specimen. The design reflects the standard Portuguese colonial coinage type of the late eighteenth century, with the armorial shield and decorative elements characteristic of the 6,400 Reis denomination. |

In 1798, British colonial authorities in Grenada faced a chronic shortage of gold coin in circulation. Rather than wait for freshly minted supply from London, they countermarked existing Spanish colonial gold — most commonly the two-escudo piece — at three separate stages of authorization, each stamp validating the coin for local use at 66 shillings. The three-countermark sequence is what distinguishes this type and reflects the bureaucratic layers of colonial monetary administration rather than any single emergency measure.
Grenada had been taken from France in 1762 and briefly retaken during the American Revolutionary War. Currency improvisation was a recurring feature of the island's financial life throughout the late eighteenth century.
