One interesting fact about the 5 Bazarucos - Maria I (Dio) 1800-1807 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 Maria I, who was the Queen of Portugal from 1777 until her death in 1816. During her reign, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring countries and internal political instability. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the Portuguese people during this time.
