| Additional information |
By 1958, Portuguese India was politically terminal. Nehru's government had cut diplomatic ties with Lisbon in 1955, and Indian paramilitary forces were already conducting low-level operations along the Goa border. Coins were still being struck for a territory that most of the world had already written off. When Indian troops formally annexed Goa, Daman, and Diu in December 1961, circulation of this issue ceased overnight — making the 1958–1959 production run the final escudo coinage for Portuguese India.
