Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Bastião - Sebastião (Goa) ND (1568-1581) from Portuguese India made of Silver weighing 20 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Sebastian I of Portugal, who was known for his ambitious plans to expand the Portuguese Empire and spread Christianity throughout the world. This coin, which features an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, was likely used to facilitate trade and commerce within the Portuguese colonies in India and other parts of Asia. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history and a testament to the enduring legacy of Portuguese colonialism.
