The above picture is the result of some PhotoShop work over poor internet imagesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pardau - Maria I (Widow veil, Goa) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Portuguese India. The coin was minted in Goa, which was a Portuguese colony at the time, and it features an image of Queen Maria I, who was the Queen of Portugal from 1777 until her death in 1795. The coin was minted during a period of conflict between Portugal and Great Britain, and it was also a time of great economic and political change in India. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of history for collectors and historians today.
