| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a large armillary sphere occupying the central field, its meridian and equatorial rings rendered in fine detail, superimposed over the cross of the Order of Christ whose four arms extend to the coin's periphery. The sphere symbolises Portuguese maritime heritage and sovereignty over Brazil. The circular legend is divided around the design, reading SVBQ. SIGN. NATA. STAB., meaning 'Born under a steady sign.' The reeded edge is visible, consistent with the milled Brazilian host coinage of the period. |

By the 1890s, Angola's colonial economy was drowning in debased and foreign silver that the Lisbon authorities could neither fully account for nor withdraw. The solution applied here was the countermark — a Portuguese royal shield punched onto Brazilian 960 réis coins, themselves already a recycled currency struck on Spanish colonial 8 reales flans. This piece is thus three monetary lives deep: Spanish colonial silver, restruck in Rio de Janeiro, then authenticated for Angolan circulation by royal decree.
Carlos I was assassinated in Lisbon in February 1908, making his countermarked issues for the African territories a relatively short administrative window.
