Counter Stamped Silver(?) Coin

[coinsareawesome]

I got this coin for $.50 at a shop in a nearby town. It looks like it is a Guatemala 1894 1/2 Real counter stamped on a Brazil 1875 2000 Reis. I looked it up and couldn't find it. Can you guys help me?

I can't help with the identity but I would have paid fifty cents too. Nice one!

In 1894 Guatemala counterstamped a number of various coins including 1875 Brazil 2000 Reis. They counterstamped these with a 1894 1/2 Real dies. If authentic, this is something special, as my Krause lists no price, just describes it as "Rare". You're going to need a expert.

I was a little wary when I saw it, but then I realized that $.50 wouldn't be a big loss if it was a forgery.
