The 1 Pardau coin from Portuguese India, minted in 1767 during the reign of King José I, features an unusual design element - a small image of a damão (a type of sailing vessel) on the reverse side. This design was added to the coin to signify the importance of maritime trade in the region and to honor the king's efforts to promote it.
