Comment
The pict is the coin Nr. 5826 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Xerafim São Tomé - José I (Goa) ND (1766) coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of King José I of Portugal, who ruled from 1750 to 1777. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, known as the "Xerafim" series, which was introduced to replace the earlier "Cruzado" series. The Xerafim coinage was minted in several denominations, including the 1 Xerafim, which was equivalent to 100 Reis. The coin was made of gold and weighed 0.4 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
