Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Tanga coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Charles I of Portugal, who ruled from 1889 to 1908. During his reign, Portuguese India was facing significant political and economic challenges, including the rise of nationalist movements and competition from other European powers. Despite these challenges, the ¼ Tanga coin remained a widely used denomination in the region and is still sought after by collectors today.
