Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1903-1904 Portuguese India 1 Rupia coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in India. The coin was minted in Lisbon, Portugal, while India was still under Portuguese colonial rule. However, the Indian independence movement was gaining momentum during this time, and the coin's mintage coincided with the rise of Mahatma Gandhi and the Quit India Movement. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of colonialism and the struggle for independence in India.
