That is a possibility. However, the paper of this item is quite thin which is more akin to being a imperforate stamp.

This Portugal King Luiz Scott Catalog (SC) "A-14 Design" Imperforate stamp is blue. SC #19 has this 25 REIS stamp as "bister." Could this be a reprint issued in a different color? The catalog notation on reprints does not speak to color issues.
