One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 7 ½ Réis - João VI (Diu) ND (1816-1826) from Portuguese India made of Copper weighing 9.0 g is that it was minted during the reign of King João VI of Portugal, who also ruled Brazil as João VI of Brazil. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were used in both Portugal and its colonies, including Portuguese India. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other, with the denomination "7 ½ Réis" written in Portuguese. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Portuguese currency and its colonial empire.
