One interesting fact about the 60 Reis coin from Portuguese India is that it was used as a form of currency in the Portuguese colonies in India, specifically in the state of Goa, during the reign of King João V (1729-1738). Despite being a small coin, it was made of silver, which gave it a significant value at the time. Additionally, the coin features an interesting design, with an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and it is highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Portuguese India.
