Afonso VI Counterstamped 50 Reis ND (1663) VG Details (Obverse Scratched, Cleaned) NGC, KM-Unl, LMB-17. 2.92gm. "SO" Counterstamp (XF Strong) on Portuguese 1/2 Tostao from Lisbon mint (cf. KM5). According to LMB, the second-rarest host for this 50 Reis counterstamp, a rarity furthered by the fact that KM has no listing for this particular un-crowed "SO" mark. The noted problems are clear in hand, but easily accepted in light of the heavily circulated nature of these types, not to mention the nice cabinet patina now inhabiting the surfaces.
