The above pict is the lot 16342 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Musum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 30 Réis - João VI (Big armillary sphere - Goa) ND (1818-1826) from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 20 g is that it was minted during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled Brazil as João VI of Brazil. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured the armillary sphere, which was a symbol of the Portuguese Empire at the time. The armillary sphere on the coin represents the king's power and authority, and the coin's design was meant to showcase the richness and prosperity of the Portuguese Empire.
