Unattributed, BRAZIL, Joseph I, counterfeit 6,400 Réis, 1761, Rio, obv. countermarked with script d raised within a circular indent, 11.33g/174.8gr/7.28 dwt (Gordon 203, this coin). Coin and countermark very fine but cracked under the countermark, the only known specimen £900-1,200

Provenance: Bt I. Rudman 1977.

This coin does not match up with a known weight standard, being too heavy for the Leeward Island 7 dwt tariff and not sufficiently clipped to be reduced from the Windward Island 7½ dwt measure
