Comment
The pict is the coin Nr. 15737 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pardau - João V (Goa) 1728-1750 coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and transition in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. During his reign, the Portuguese Empire was at the height of its power and influence, and Goa was an important center of trade and commerce. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic activity in the region and the need for a standardized form of currency. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of history for collectors and historians today.
