Comment
The above pict is the lot 5924 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 15 Réis - João VI (Diu) ND (1816-1826) from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 9.0 g is that it was minted during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled Brazil as João VI of Brazil. This coin was part of a series of coins minted for use in Portuguese India, a colony of Portugal, and features the image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The coin was made of copper, a common metal used for coinage at the time, and weighed 9.0 grams. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the currency and trade of Portuguese India during the 19th century.
