| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Portuguese royal coat of arms rendered in hammered relief, occupying the central field of the flan. The design is characteristically crude and irregular, consistent with the hand-struck coinage of the Goa mint during the late 18th century. The armorial shield displays the traditional Portuguese emblems in a bold, stylized fashion. The overall strike is uneven, with the device showing varying depth across the surface. A toothed or granular border is visible around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The xerafim was a unit of account inherited from the pre-Portuguese monetary system of Goa, and by Maria I's reign the denomination had a centuries-long entanglement with local merchants, colonial tax rolls, and the Estado da India's perpetually strained finances. This gold issue was struck at a moment when Lisbon's grip on its eastern empire was visibly loosening — the Maratha wars had reshaped the subcontinent, and Portuguese India had contracted to a handful of coastal enclaves surviving largely on trade tolls.
The Goa mint was notoriously inconsistent in this period, and pieces from this type show measurable variation in flan preparation across the issue's eight-year span.
