背面描述	Central field bears the denomination numeral 5 above the date 1760, the figures rendered in bold relief typical of cast coinage. The numerals are surrounded by a decorative wreath or floral border motif, with an outer beaded rim encircling the entire reverse. The design is characteristically crude in execution, reflecting the cast technique standard to Portuguese Indian colonial coinage of this period.

附加信息	The bazaruco was a copper fractional coin used across Portuguese India for centuries, but this 1760 issue in nickel brass marks a deliberate material shift driven by chronic metal shortages in Goa — the Estado da India's supply lines from Lisbon were unreliable, and the mint frequently had to source or substitute alloys locally. José I's reign coincided with the height of Pombal's reformist administration, which pushed for rationalization of colonial minting and tighter control over fractional currency that had long been prone to counterfeiting and debasement.
