One interesting fact about the 60 Réis coin from Portuguese India is that it was issued during the reign of Maria I and Pedro III, who were the first monarchs to rule Portugal and its colonies simultaneously. This coin was minted in Goa, which was a Portuguese colony in India at the time, and it features the effigies of both rulers on opposite sides. The coin's design reflects the cultural exchange between Portugal and India during the colonial period, showcasing both European and Indian influences. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs only 1.1 grams makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
