The above picture is the lot 16467 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Réis - Maria II (Goa) 1848 coin is that it features a unique blend of Portuguese and Indian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Maria II, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, Lord Vishnu, signifying the cultural fusion that existed in Portuguese India during that time.
