Interesting fact
The ⅛ Atiá coin from Portuguese India, minted in 1750 during the reign of King João V, features an unusual design element - a small image of a ship on the reverse side. This ship is believed to represent the Portuguese East India Company's influence in the region and its role in facilitating trade between Europe and Asia.
