Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 200 Réis - João V (Goa) 1735 coin from Mozambique is that it was issued during the reign of King João V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were meant to circulate in the Portuguese colonies, including Mozambique. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted in Portugal but rather in the Dutch East India Company's mint in Goa, India, which was a Portuguese colony at the time. This highlights the complex history of colonialism and trade in the region during the 18th century.
