INDIA PORTUGUESA. Goa. 1 Escudo. 1959

- Value: 1 escudo
- Year: 1959
- Inscriptions: Obverse: ESTADO DA ÍNDIA 1$00. Reverse: REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA 1959
- Grade: MS65 (NGC)

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