Portuguese India. D. Carlos I (1889-1908). Uma Rupia 1904 - Lisboa (No reserve price)
This 1904 Uma Rupia coin from Portuguese India was minted under King Carlos I's reign. As part of a continuing currency system in the Portuguese Indian territories, these coins underscore the colonial governance and economic environment at the time. Featuring typical design elements such as the monarch's portrait and inscriptions in Portuguese, the rupia facilitated trade locally and in the broader Indian Ocean region. Collectors of such coins appreciate them as pieces of colonial numismatic history, revealing the cross-cultural interactions and monetary practices in place just before the upheavals of the 20th century.
