INDIA. Portuguese India. Goa. 1/2 Manuel (240 Reis), ND (1495-1521). Goa Mint. Manuel I. NGC AU-55.
Fr-1450; Gomes-13.01. Nicely struck and containing a rich golden luster, this example emanating from a popular type serves as a fully charming representative from the age of exploration. Highly sought and certain to be a contested item.

Struck shortly after the journey of Vasco da Gama around the Cape of Good Hope, this charming example serves as evidence of Portugal's early arrival to the Indian subcontinent and highlights Portugal's nearly century long reign as the preeminent European power in India.
