One interesting fact about the São Tomé de 5 Xerafins - Pedro II (Goa) 1701 coin is that it was minted during a time when the Portuguese Empire was at the height of its power and influence. The coin was issued by the Portuguese East India Company, which was responsible for managing the colonies in the East, including Goa, where the coin was minted. The coin's design features an image of King Pedro II of Portugal, who ruled from 1683 to 1706, and the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Portuguese East India Company. The coin's gold content and historical significance make it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
