What do you guys think of this coin grading? I've been into studying the Sheldon Scale Grading in the past few days, because here in Brazil we don't really use it.

It has the portuguese coat of arms stamp, intended for doubling its value.

I've already a guess about this coin, but will let the more experienced to take a shot. Thanks!

Are these counterstamps often upside-down?

Actually it's not normal. It is usual to se some very vertically aligned, as it should be, even though it is not rare to see some leaned to one side or another, but totally upside-down like this I've never seen before.

I'd go VF-35 on the host coin.

Thanks your answers. I personally would rate it as a VF-35, but VF-30 is reasonable too. The major drawback is the diadem's base I'd say. All other details are very sharp, except for some crown's top pearls and marks in the legend and field, mostly from storage I guess, not from circulating.
