One interesting fact about the 1 Xerafim - Pedro II (Damão) ND (1683-1706) coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Pedro II of Portugal, who ruled from 1683 to 1706. During this time, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from other European powers, and the coinage system was in flux. Despite these challenges, the 1 Xerafim coin remained a widely used denomination in Portuguese India, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
