Interesting fact
The Bazaruco - Filipe III (Diu) 1626-1628 coin from Portuguese India is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a European king, King Philip III of Portugal, on a coin minted in India. This coin was a significant departure from the traditional designs used on Indian coins and marked a shift towards a more Westernized style of coinage in the region.
