This specimen is from a two year type struck for the Portuguese colonies in India. Once extensive, Portuguese dominions had dwindled by the 1800's to the enclaves of Goa, Diu and Damao. Issues up to 1870 were based on the rupee (1 rupia = 16 tanga, 1 tanga = 60 réis) and struck at local mints. After 1870, the British controlled mints of Bombay and Calcutta provided modern milled coinage.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 11.80 g, silver.

Catalog reference: KM-248, Gomes-P4 09.02.
