Coin issued during the Portuguese administration of the Estado da Índia features the coat of arms of Goa under Portuguese rule, crowned by the shields of the main Portuguese territories. The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Portugal over an armillary sphere, a traditional symbol of the Age of Discoveries. This piece was minted shortly before Goa's annexation to India in 1961, making it a numismatic testimony to the end of Portuguese colonial rule on the subcontinent. The MS65 grade highlights its sharp details and original shine.
