<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Banholi, post: 2234127, member: 72558&quot;]This coin of 1735 was counterstamped too. Is too weak, but if you look between XX you&#039;ll realize.</p><p>This stamp is know as &quot;Carimbo do Escudo&quot;(Stamp of shield), but here, we call &quot;Carimbo do escudete&quot;. Was used because after 1800 had an increase in price of copper, and the facial values of the coins was outdated compared of the material price. Because this, was minted new coins after 1800 to correct the weight of copper relative to the facial value of each coin. But the coins before 1799, which had a larger weight, were still in circulation and to equalize the facial value of this old coins to the material price, the king Don João VI made a law&nbsp; declaring that all coin minted before 1799 were stamped with this countermark to duplicate his values.</p><p><br /></p><p>Follow the facial values and the weight of the coins before and after 1800</p><p><br /></p><p>Before 1800</p><p><br /></p><p>1) V reis - 3,58 grams </p><p><br /></p><p>2) X réis - 7,17 grams </p><p><br /></p><p>3) XX réis - 14,34 grams </p><p><br /></p><p>4) XL réis - 28,68 grams.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After 1800</p><p><br /></p><p>1) V réis - Was extinct</p><p><br /></p><p>2) X réis - 3,58 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>3) XX réis - 7,17 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>4) XL réis - 14,34 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>5) LXXX réis - 28,68 grams(new coin).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I get this pic in internet to show a coins with a stamp more visible.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this is the original draw of this coat of arms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ps: Sorry my lack of know to write english and&nbsp; please, let me know if anything that I wrote is hard to understand that I try explain again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
