Comment
Coin issued by "Provisão 17JAN1725" (Portuguese India Government)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Réis - João V (Goa) ND (1725-1750) coin from Mozambique is that it was issued during the reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Portuguese Empire to circulate in their colonies, including Mozambique, which was a Portuguese colony at the time. The coin's design features the image of King João V on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. It was made of copper and weighs 12 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size and denomination. Despite its age, some of these coins can still be found in good condition and are highly sought after by collectors today.
