This specimen was lot 43250 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $336. The catalog description[1] noted, "PORTUGAL. 200 Reis, 1689-P. Porto Mint. Pedro II. NGC AU-55." This type was struck 1688-1690 at Porto during the reign of king Peter II (1683-1706). This denomination was also struck 1686-97, 1701-06 at Lisbon with rosettes instead of the "P's" shown here. Surprising, despite the many years of issue, the Lisbon product is priced higher than the Porto issue. It is one of the earliest machine-struck coins of Portugal, which commenced using the screw press about 1677.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 8.65 g, 0.917 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM-153.
