Interesting fact
The 1 Rupia coin from Portuguese India, featuring Luíz I, was the first coin to be issued with a portrait of a European monarch on one side and the effigy of a local king on the other. This unique design was a result of the colonial influence of Portugal in India and reflects the blending of cultures during that time period.
