One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 60 Réis - João VI (Diu) ND (1816-1826) from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 39.2 g is that it was minted during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled Brazil as João VI of Brazil. This coin was part of a series of coins minted for use in Portuguese India, a colony of Portugal, and features the image of the king on one side and the value of the coin on the other. The use of copper as the material for this coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Portuguese India and the reign of King João VI.
