Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rupia coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and transition for the country. The coin was introduced in 1947, just a year after India gained independence from British colonial rule, and it was minted until 1952, when the Portuguese Empire was dissolved and Portugal's territories in India became part of the newly independent India. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
