King's Coat of Arms
Interesting fact
The 1 Rupia coin from Portuguese India, minted during the reign of Miguel I (1829-1833), features an interesting design element - a stylized portrayal of the Portuguese royal coat of arms on the obverse side, which includes a shield with five quinas (a symbol of the Kingdom of Portugal) and a crown on top. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of the Portuguese monarch on the obverse side of coins, and it highlights the influence of the Portuguese colonial empire on the currency of Goa.
