Comment
Another one auctioned by Morton & Eden in which the engraving is rougher:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 600 Réis "Rupia" coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Maria II, who was only 15 years old at the time. Despite her young age, Maria II played an important role in the country's transition from a colonial territory to a constitutional monarchy. This coin is a testament to her legacy and the historical significance of Portuguese India.
