75 Réis - Alfonso VI Countermarked 1 Real

Aversbeschreibung	Type 3 countermark applied to a Spanish colonial cob (macuquina) 1 Real. The host coin's obverse displays the crowned quartered arms of Castile and León in the central field, with castles and lions in the quarters, characteristic of the cob coinage struck under Philip IV. The partial Latin legend PHILIPVS is visible along the upper arc of the irregularly shaped planchet. The surface shows the typical rough, uneven fabric of hammered cob coinage.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse of the host Spanish colonial 1 Real cob displays the cross of Jerusalem with lions and castles in the angles, typical of the macuquina coinage of the Spanish American mints. Over this host design, the Portuguese Type 3 countermark of King Afonso VI has been applied, displaying the crowned Portuguese arms with the value '75' (réis) prominently struck below, validating the coin for circulation in Brazil at a revalued denomination. The countermark is bold and well-centered, with a beaded border surrounding the crowned shield device.
