One interesting fact about the PARDAU DE GOA - Maria II 1851 coin from Portuguese India is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Queen Maria II, while the reverse side features a traditional Indian lotus flower, symbolizing the cultural fusion that existed during the Portuguese colonial era in India.
