| Additional information |
Pedro IV's tenure as king of Portugal lasted just two months in 1826 before he abdicated in favor of his daughter Maria, making any coinage issued under his name a compressed and administratively chaotic affair. The Diu mint — a tiny outpost on a peninsula off the Gujarat coast — continued striking copper-based colonial issues well into the following reign, with attribution sometimes lagging the political reality in Lisbon by months.
The nickel-zinc composition here is unusual for Portuguese Indian colonial issues of this period, which leaned heavily on copper and its alloys.
