Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Wheel of 3 Bazarucos - João V (Goa) ND (1706-1750) from Portuguese India made of Nickel brass weighing 5.6 g is that it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical significance of the region. The coin's obverse side features an image of King João V, while the reverse side features a wheel with three bazarucos (a traditional Portuguese coin) surrounded by the inscription "BAZARUCOS 3" and the year of minting. This design was specifically chosen to represent the rich cultural heritage of Goa, which was a Portuguese colony at the time the coin was minted.
