Interesting fact
The 1 Tanga / 60 Réis coin from Portuguese India, minted in 1871 during the reign of King Luíz I, was the first coin to feature the portrait of a Portuguese monarch. This was a departure from the previous design, which featured an image of the Virgin Mary. The change in design was a nod to the increasing influence of European colonial powers in India during the 19th century.
