Comment
The Pict is the Lot 5802 From INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Réis - João Prince (Goa) ND (1799-1816) coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of João, Prince of Portugal, who ruled from 1799 to 1816. During this time, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring kingdoms and the rise of nationalist movements. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout Portuguese India, reflecting the enduring legacy of Portuguese rule in the region.
