One interesting fact about the 1 Pardau coin from Portuguese India is that it was issued during the reign of King José I, who ruled Portugal from 1750 to 1777. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency in the Portuguese colonies. The 1 Pardau coin was equivalent to 1/4 of a Portuguese Cruzado, which was the standard unit of currency in Portugal at the time.
