附加信息	The bazaruco was a unit so debased and chaotic in Portuguese India that authorities repeatedly attempted to rationalize its multiples — largely without success. José I's copper issues from the Goa mint reflect that instability directly: the 1765 authorization came partly in response to chronic shortages of small change along the Konkan coast, where locally-minted and counterfeit pieces had been filling the vacuum for decades. The Dio mint attribution for this type distinguishes it from the Goa-struck variants cataloged separately under Gomes, a distinction that took considerable archival work to establish reliably.
