The tanga was a Portuguese colonial monetary unit equal to one-sixteenth of a rupia, making this an odd mid-denomination note likely issued to address acute small-change shortages that plagued Goa's commercial economy during the First World War, when silver coin exports drained local circulation. Bradbury Wilkinson printed it in London — standard practice for Portuguese colonial paper throughout this period.
The "without counterfoil" distinction in the Pick reference indicates a later or separate print run from the counterfoil-attached version (P#20), though both circulated in the same colony. Goa would not see a proper monetary reform until the Estado Novo era consolidations of the 1930s.
