Interesting fact
The 12 Macutas coin from Angola, which features José I (1762-1770) on one side and an image of the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal on the other, was actually minted in two different locations - Lisbon, Portugal and Goa, India. This is indicated by the mint marks "L" for Lisbon and "G" for Goa, which can be found on the coin's reverse side. This fact highlights the historical connection between Portugal and its colonies, as well as the global reach of the Portuguese Empire during that time.
