<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1888688, member: 15019&quot;]I think i may have a lead on which direction to research. Someone on another forum referenced these pieces: <a href="http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=26087.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=26087.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=26087.0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently they were countermarks made by missionaries on obsolete Brazilian coins which were given to the poor. Mine looks different than the ones in the reference post, but same idea and it does mention that the punches used varied by who made them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m starting to think my little gamble was worth it, knowledge wise at the very least <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
