Origin: It was minted in Lisbon, Portugal, for use in Portuguese India, a colonial presence in India that lasted over four centuries.
Composition and Denomination: This particular coin is made of copper-nickel and represents a denomination of 1/2 Rupia.
Design: The obverse side features a depiction of an Indian woman in traditional attire, symbolizing the cultural blend, while the reverse side displays the "1/2 Rupia" denomination, the year "1952", and the Portuguese coat of arms.
Historical Significance: It belongs to the series of coins minted after 1947, when the silver content of Rupia coins was reduced to 50%. The Rupia currency was eventually replaced by the Escudo in 1958.
Collectibility: Coins like this one are considered historically and numismatically significant, especially those in uncirculated (UNC) condition, and are sought after by collectors.
