The 60 Réis - João Prince (Dio) 1818 coin from Portuguese India was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled over the Portuguese colonies in India. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency used in the colonies. The 60 Réis coin was equivalent to 600 Reis, which was the standard unit of currency in Portuguese India at the time. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. The coin's design features an image of João Prince (Dio) on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
