Comment
The above pic is THE LOT 16352 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Reis coin from Portuguese India is that it features a unique design element - a small armillary sphere - that represents the Portuguese Empire's maritime and navigational achievements during the reign of King João VI.
