INDIA. Portuguese India. Goa. Pardao (300 Reis), 1808. Goa Mint. Joao as Prince Regent. NGC VF-35.
KM-221; Gomes-15.01. This handsome first year of issue for the type presents a patchwork display of varying toning that shades from light to dark, that when coupled with the honest circulation, unites this piece into a display of wonderful originality. Despite time spent in circulation, this example is struck to a sharper clarity than most of this crude issuance, though some obverse doubling can be seen. A tougher date, and therefore desirable.
