One interesting fact about the 30 Réis - ½ Tanga - Pedro V (Damão) 1854 coin from Portuguese India 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 Pedro V, who ruled Portugal from 1853 to 1861. During this time, the Portuguese Empire was facing significant challenges, including the loss of its American colonies and the decline of its traditional industries. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Portuguese people.
