The above pict is the lot 5978 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern Rupia - Luiz I (Pattern, Goa) 1862 from Portuguese India is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Portuguese design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of King Luiz I of Portugal, while the reverse depicts a traditional Indian lotus flower surrounded by the words "Rupia" and "Goa". This fusion of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Portugal and India during the colonial period.
