Well, that's cool.
Yes, it's counterstamped. An official counterstamp, I believe. And yes, a hammered coin. A rather big hammered coin. I've seen others, though...
;) (Almost goes without sayin', but having nearly become an accidental amputee a few times, I had to say it...)
Snopes.com tackled that subject.
Wow, that's a great reverse. Never had one. Sorta want one now.

I love the Portuguese designs.
BTW, on the topic of flip inserts, here's a picture of the ones I used a decade ago (circa 2007), in my old antique mall booth. Each flip...
I use both, but prefer the "e" spelling. To me, "gray" with an "a" is a very dark color, approaching black. That's just how I visualize it in...
PS- though it's still a work in progress, I'm happy to email the MS Word document containing my inserts (as seen above) to any of you who'd like...
