scooter Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have had it for decades and always wondered about about its history........is it 1666 or what do the numbers mean.....it is well worn so it must be old...I can measure it if it would help.....any comments very welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 1666 Portugal 200 Reis would be my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Unfortunately I don't have any reference catalogues for the era (My specialty is world post-1850) so I wouldn't be able to help with a value estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
