INDIA. Portuguese India. Goa. 1/2 Pardao (150 Reis), 1846/5. Goa Mint. Maria II. NGC MS-62.
KM-271; Gomes-17.03 var. (for regular date). A nicely centered and sharp example, this example also delivers a clear overdate variety that is easily visible. Deeply gray, the surfaces exude originality and charm. A wonderful specimen, and one that is deserved of a bid from the specialist seeking a premium Portuguese Indian piece.
