1/2 Tanga - Miguel I Goa mint

正面描述	Central field features the Portuguese royal arms — a quartered shield bearing the traditional quinas and castles — surmounted by a large ornate royal crown rendered in relief. The shield is unadorned by a surrounding legend, occupying the majority of the flan. The design is executed in a simplified, provincial style characteristic of the Goa mint's hammered copper coinage of the early nineteenth century.

附加信息	Miguel I's claim to the Portuguese throne was itself legally contested — he had been installed as regent, swore to uphold a constitutional charter, then abolished it and declared himself absolute king in 1828. Coins struck in his name at Goa during 1831–1834 therefore belong to a period when Portugal was in open civil war, the liberal opposition rallying behind his niece Maria II from exile. That political rupture makes issues from Goa's mint during these years particularly interesting, as the Estado da India continued producing coinage under a monarch who was simultaneously losing control of the metropole.
