Dear coin community friends,

I have this 1871 Spanish 5 Pesetas, and it is countermarked G.P for use in the portugese colony of Azeros.

There are many fakes of this coin, can you help me determine if it is real or fake?

It weighs 25g.

regards.

Coins of Amadeus of Savoy, King of Spain, aren't easy to find in any case. This seems like a really uncommon piece, if genuine.

Incidentally, we know these islands as the Azores, in English.
