One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 5 Bazarucos - João V (Dio) 1745-1748 from Portuguese India made of Nickel brass weighing 10g 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 V of Portugal, who ruled from 1706 to 1750. During his reign, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from other European powers, and the coinage was affected by the economic and political instability of the time. Despite these challenges, the 5 Bazarucos coin remained a widely used denomination in Portuguese India and is now a sought-after collector's item.
