One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portuguese India. The coin was minted during the reign of Maria I (Dio) who ruled from 1788-1796, a period of great political and economic upheaval in the region. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Portuguese India.
