MARTINIQUE, gold 22 livres, 22 over eagle countermark (1805) on an edge-trimmed Brazil (Rio mint) 6400 reis of José I, 1766-R, PCGS XF details / graffiti (c/m AU details). Gordon-Variety A; Fr-2; KM-36. 11.90 grams. Deep countermark on king's neck with luster in recesses, the host only lightly worn but with some x-scratches near edge at about 4 o'clock on the reverse, typically trimmed down around the edge with new engrailing applied (sometime after the countermarking), rich gold color throughout. The "22" countermark, decreed in 1805, was officially applied only to genuine Portuguese gold coins, as the imitation "Joes" were valued at 20 livres instead.
