Comment
The above pict is the lot 5936 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
The ½ Xerafim coin from Portuguese India, minted in 1831 during the reign of King Miguel I, features an unusual design element – a small crown on the obverse side, which was added to signify the coin's denomination. This feature was not present on other coins of the same era, making it a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
