Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Réis - Maria I (Dio) ND (1788-1799) 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 Queen Maria I, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Hindu deity Dio (Shiva) and the Portuguese coat of arms. This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of Portuguese India and the influence of European colonialism on local traditions.
