| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Portuguese royal coat of arms, surmounted by a royal crown, is displayed prominently in the centre of the field. The shield bears the traditional quartered arrangement of the Portuguese arms, with the quinas and the bordure of castles rendered in fine detail. The circumferential legend INDIA PORTUGUEZA arcs around the upper portion of the coin within a beaded border, while the denomination 1/4 TANGA is inscribed along the lower arc, with small floral ornaments flanking the legend at the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1903 Portuguese colonial pattern series for India was struck at Lisbon as part of a broader reassessment of coinage for Estado da India — the dwindling remnant of Portugal's once-vast eastern empire, by then reduced to Goa, Damão, and Diu. Aluminium was being evaluated across several European colonial mints at the time as a low-cost, lightweight option for fractional denominations that saw heavy daily use in tropical markets. It was not adopted here.
Gomes C1 E3 places this among a small group of aluminium trials that never progressed beyond the pattern stage, making survivors essentially mint-state by definition.
