Details
To prevent chaos resulting from local and private countermarks, the government passed Law# 54 (6 October 1835) ordering all coppers countermarked according to the following standards: 20 = 7.18 g = 10 Reis 40 = 14.34 g = 20 Reis 80 = 28.69 g = 40 Reis The countermarks consist of numerals within a circle, having a plain or shaded field.
