Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Wheel of 15 Bazarucos - João V (Goa) ND (1706-1750) from Portuguese India made of Nickel brass weighing 19 g is that it was used as a form of currency in the Portuguese colony of Goa, which is now a state in western India. The coin was issued during the reign of King João V of Portugal and was used for everyday transactions, such as buying goods and services. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of a durable material like nickel brass, which helped it withstand the wear and tear of frequent use. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item and a piece of history that highlights the rich cultural and economic heritage of Portuguese India.
