One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Bazarucos - Pedro Prince (Damão mint or Dio) 1669-1682 from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 6.4 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Pedro II of Portugal, who was also known as Pedro Prince. This coin was used as a means of currency in the Portuguese colonies in India, particularly in the region of Damão, which was a Portuguese colony from 1559 to 1961. The coin's design features the image of Pedro Prince on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. It is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Portuguese India.
