The 1 Xerafim coin from Portuguese India, featuring Pedro Prince and stars around a cross, was minted during a time of great change and conflict in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Pedro II of Portugal, who ruled from 1681 to 1706. During this time, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from other European powers, as well as from local Indian kingdoms and tribes. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Portuguese India.
