| Additional information |
João V's Goa mint operated under chronic silver supply constraints throughout the 1720s, dependent on bullion flows that arrived irregularly from Lisbon and were further disrupted by competition with private merchants. This 60 Reis denomination was part of a short-lived fractional series authorized to address the persistent shortage of small change circulating in Portuguese India — the two-year window of production reflects how quickly local monetary conditions shifted.
The Gomes reference places this among the scarcer João V colonial issues. Die workmanship at Goa during this period was inconsistent, with engravers working outside metropolitan supervision.
