Comment
The pict is the coin Nr 5800 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Reis coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of King João V, who ruled Portugal from 1706 to 1750. This coin was minted specifically for circulation in the Portuguese colony of Goa, which was a major trading hub in India at the time. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gives us an idea of the importance of this colony to the Portuguese Empire. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Portuguese India.
