Comment
The above pict is the coin MCM 5842 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
The Rupia coin , which was issued during the reign of José I of Portugal (1751-1762) in Goa, was part of a series of coins that were minted during the Portuguese colonial period in India. These coins were used as a medium of exchange and were widely used in trade and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver and weighed 11.9 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, and its design and minting process were likely overseen by the Portuguese colonial authorities to ensure its authenticity and quality.
