Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Réis - Maria I (Goa) 1788 coin is that it was issued during a time of great change and turmoil in Portuguese India. The coin was minted in 1788, just a few years after the arrival of the Portuguese in Goa in 1510. During this time, the Portuguese were facing challenges from other European powers, such as the British and the Dutch, who were also seeking to establish their presence in the region. Despite these challenges, the Portuguese were able to maintain their control over Goa and the surrounding areas, and the 30 Réis coin became an important part of the local economy.
