Comment
The above pict is from Numisma Auction 118Interesting fact
The 2½ Bazarucos coin from Portuguese India, minted in 1715 during the reign of King João V, features an unusual design element - a small image of a ship on the reverse side. This ship is believed to represent the Portuguese East India Company's influence in the region and highlights the importance of maritime trade in the Indian Ocean during that time.
