Comment
The above pict is the lot 5948 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Réis - Maria II (Pattern, Damão) 1834 coin from Portuguese India is interesting because it was minted during a time of transition for the Portuguese Empire. The coin features the image of Queen Maria II, who ruled Portugal from 1826 to 1853, and was minted in the city of Damão, which was a Portuguese colony in India at the time. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Portuguese Mint, and it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins during that era. Despite its small weight of 2.14 grams, the coin is a significant piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the Portuguese Empire during the 19th century.
