One interesting fact about the 2 Réis - José I (Goa) 1763 coin from Portuguese India is that it features a unique blend of European and Indian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King José I of Portugal, while the reverse side features an image of a Hindu deity, likely Lord Vishnu, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Portuguese colonial period in India.
