Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Bazarucos - Pedro II (Dio) 1699 coin from Portuguese India is that it was made of nickel brass, which is a copper alloy that contains nickel. This makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were often made of pure copper or silver. The use of nickel brass in the coin's production gives it a unique composition that sets it apart from other coins in the series.
