Comment
The above pict is the lot 5916 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the São Tomé de 1 Xerafim - João VI (Goa) 1819 coin is that it was minted during a time when Portuguese India was under Portuguese colonial rule, and it features the image of King João VI of Portugal, who reigned from 1816 to 1826. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were meant to be used in the Portuguese colonies, and it is a rare and valuable collector's item today.
