One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 30 Réis - João VI (Diu) ND (1816-1826) from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 19.9g is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who ruled from 1816 to 1826, a period marked by political instability and conflict between Portugal and its colonies, including Portuguese India. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region, a testament to the enduring value and reliability of the Portuguese currency system.
