Portuguese Indian rupia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rupia was the currency of Portuguese India until 1958. Before 1871, it was subdivided into 10 tangas, each of 60 réis. After 1871, 16 tangas (still of 60 réis) equaled 1 rupia.
In 1958, the currency was replaced by the escudo at the rate of 1 rupia = 6 escudos.
