This 1947 bronze pattern was struck in Lisbon as Portugal began reconsidering the coinage structure for its Indian territories — a process that would eventually be overtaken by events entirely outside Lisbon's control. Indian independence that same year made the long-term future of Portuguese India's monetary arrangements immediately precarious, even as the mint was producing test pieces. The Estado Novo government pressed on regardless, and circulation coinage for Goa continued until the Indian Army's annexation in December 1961.
The Gomes reference R E1.02 places this among the early pattern trials for the type — "E1" denoting the first essai series.
