One interesting fact about the 7½ Bazarucos coin from Portuguese India is that it was minted during the reign of King João V, who ruled Portugal from 1706 to 1750. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were designed to promote trade and commerce between Portugal and its colonies, including Portuguese India. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. It was made of nickel brass, a durable and long-lasting material that was commonly used for coins during this time period. Despite its age, the 7½ Bazarucos coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
