One interesting fact about the 60 Réis - Tanga - Maria II (Damão) 1840 coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Maria II, who ruled Portugal from 1837 to 1853. During her reign, the country was facing significant political and economic challenges, including the liberal revolution of 1846, which led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
