| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the Portuguese royal arms: a shield charged with five bezants arranged in saltire (the quinas), surmounted by a crown. The shield is flanked on either side by a pellet or globular ornament, with the letters D and O positioned to the left and right of the shield respectively, likely abbreviating the mint name (Damão or Diu). The design is rendered in a crude hammered style typical of colonial copper coinage of Portuguese India in the seventeenth century. |

Pedro served as Prince Regent from 1668 following the forced abdication of his brother Afonso VI, whose mental incapacity — and Pedro's open affair with his wife — made the transfer of power one of the more sordid episodes in Bragança history. These copper bazarucos were struck for the Estado da India at a moment when Portuguese control of the subcontinent had been drastically reduced, Bombay ceded to England in 1661 and Cochin lost to the Dutch in 1663. The bazaruco itself was a low-denomination coin inherited from pre-Portuguese monetary systems along the western Indian coast.
