Interesting fact
The 1912 Portuguese India 1 Rupia coin features a unique design that blends traditional Indian and Portuguese elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the bust of a Portuguese king, while the reverse side features an image of a Hindu deity, Lord Vishnu, surrounded by traditional Indian motifs. This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of Portuguese India, which was a Portuguese colony from the 16th century until 1961.
