Comment
From the Lisbon Mint House Museum, more examples of "Big armillar sphere"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Reis coin from Portuguese India is that it features an image of a big armillary sphere, which represents the Portuguese Empire's maritime and astronomical achievements during the reign of King João VI.
