Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 600 Réis - Maria I (Dio) 1804-1806 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 I, who ruled Portugal and its colonies from 1777 until her death in 1816. During her reign, the Portuguese Empire was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including conflicts with neighboring countries and the rise of revolutionary movements. Despite these challenges, the 600 Réis coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout Portuguese India, and its design has become a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
