| Aversbeschreibung | The obverse of the host coin displays a crowned royal cypher at centre, consisting of an ornate interlaced monogram surmounted by a Portuguese royal crown, struck in relief within a beaded inner circle. The date 1787 appears in the lower field beneath the cypher. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading MARIA I D G PORT ET ALG REGINA BRASILIÆ, rendered in Latin script. The overall composition is characteristic of late 18th-century Portuguese colonial coinage produced for Brazil. The applied 1854 'Small Crown' countermark of Pedro V may appear elsewhere on the coin surface, validating its revalued circulation in São Tomé and Príncipe. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The small crown countermark applied to these circulating copper pieces was a practical response to chronic coin shortages across Portugal's Atlantic island territories in the mid-nineteenth century. Rather than ship new coinage, Lisbon authorized the remarking of existing currency to confirm local validity — a recurring administrative workaround in São Tomé and Príncipe, where the cost of a dedicated colonial mint was never justified by the islands' small population.
Pedro V was still a minor when the countermarking program was sanctioned, ruling under the regency of his mother Dona Estefânia's predecessor arrangements — the logistics of colonial currency authorization running well ahead of the young king's formal reign.
