One interesting fact about the 6 Réis - José I (Goa) 1762-1768 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 José I, who ruled Portugal from 1750 to 1777. During this time, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring kingdoms and the rise of European colonial powers. Despite these challenges, the 6 Réis coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout Portuguese India, and its design has become a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
