Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 150 Réis - Maria I and Pedro III (Goa) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portuguese India. The coin was issued during the reign of Maria I and her husband Pedro III, who ruled Portugal from 1777 to 1816. During their reign, the Portuguese Empire was facing significant challenges, including the loss of its territories in North America and the decline of its colonies in Asia. Despite these challenges, the 150 Réis coin remained a widely used denomination in Portuguese India, reflecting the ongoing importance of trade and commerce in the region.
