Comment
The picture is the coin 16807 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled over the Portuguese colonies in India, including the island of Diu, where this coin was minted. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted in a Portuguese colony during this time period, and its design and materials reflect the influence of both Portuguese and Indian cultures.
