Portuguese India - Goa 1952 1/4 Rupia Copper Nickel Rare Coin

Description

This exceptional 1/4 Rupia copper-nickel coin from Portuguese India (Goa) represents a significant piece of numismatic history from 1952. Struck during the final years of Portuguese colonial rule in Goa, this denomination is increasingly difficult to locate in extra fine condition. The coin showcases the craftsmanship of early 20th-century Indian coinage, featuring intricate design work and impressive metallic composition. Collectors prize Portuguese Indian coins for their scarcity and historical importance, particularly those from the mid-20th century when colonial currency was rapidly becoming obsolete. The extra fine grade indicates minimal wear with well-preserved detail and lustre. This rare issue bridges two distinct periods of Indian history and represents an investment-grade collectible with strong appeal to serious numismatists focused on colonial Asian currencies. A genuine specimen of authentic historical significance and increasingly difficult to acquire in superior condition.
