| Reversbeschreibung | A full-length frontal figure of Saint Thomas (São Tomé), patron saint of India, is depicted in a hieratic style with a nimbus or halo encircling his head. The saint holds a lance or spear diagonally across his body in his right hand, a characteristic attribute of his martyrdom. The date is divided by the figure, with numerals appearing to the left and right of the saint. The engraving reflects the primitive but distinctive artistic conventions of early eighteenth-century Portuguese Indian hammered coinage. |

The xerafim was a unit of account inherited from the pre-Portuguese monetary system of Goa, and João V's administration spent considerable energy rationalizing its relationship to metropolitan Portuguese currency — largely without success. Dio, as a secondary Portuguese enclave north of Goa on the Gujarat coast, maintained its own mint partly because overland coin transport between the enclaves was unreliable and occasionally impossible during periods of Maratha pressure on Portuguese territorial boundaries.
The KM#15.1 designation separates this Dio striking from the Goa-struck 15.2, a distinction that matters: Dio mint gold from this reign is considerably scarcer by surviving population.
