Comment
The above pict is the lot 16312 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Réis - João Prince (Goa) ND (1799-1816) coin from Portuguese India is that it features a unique blend of European and Indian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of João, Prince of Portugal, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Hindu deity, likely Shiva, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Portuguese colonial period in India.
