| Additional information |
The São Tomé was a Portuguese gold denomination struck at Goa for circulation in the Estado da India, the network of Portuguese trading posts and territories across the Indian Ocean. Filipe II of Portugal — Philip III of Spain — ruled under the Iberian Union, and his coinage issued from Goa reflects the administrative reach of a crown simultaneously managing Atlantic and Asian monetary systems from Lisbon and Madrid.
The Goa mint operated under chronic pressure from bullion supply irregularities tied to the spice trade cycle. Gomes F2 24 is among the documented varieties from this reign.
