The three enclaves of Goa (1505), Damao (1531) and Diu (1534) were annexed to collectively form the colony of Portuguese India . Goa, including the capital Pangim (now Panaji ), is on the Malabar coast of SW India, roughly midway between Bombay and Bangalore . Damao (now called Daman ) is on the west coast, at the entrance to the Gulf Of Cambay , about 100 miles north of Bombay. Diu, which includes the towns of Diu and Simbor , is a small island (15 sq. miles) off the south coast of Kathiawar peninsula in western India. The first stamps were issued 1 October 1871 . Stamps of British India were also valid until 1877 . Standard Portuguese types such as the Ceres issue were used until 1925 when specific types began to be produced. All stamps were inscribed INDIA in some way; from 1946 , the inscription was usually ESTADO DA INDIA. In 1950 , newly independent India demanded the transfer of the Portuguese territories but Portugal refused. India set up a land blockade in 1954 and then annexed the territories on 17 December 1961 . Stamps of India were introduced on 29 December 1961 . Goa became a State of India in 1987 while Daman and Diu (combined) is a Union Territory. ;Dates : 1871 - 1961 ;Capital : Pangim ( Goa ) ;Currency : ( 1871 ) 1000 Reis = 1 Milreis : ( 1882 ) 12 Reis = 1 Tanga ; 16 Tanga s = 1 rupia : ( 1959 ) 100 Centavo s = 1 Escudo PORTUGUESE OCCUPATION OF GERMAN EAST AFRICA ;Refer : German East Africa (Portuguese Occupation) PORTUGUESE TIMOR ;Refer : Timor PREUSSEN ;Refer : Prussia PRIAMUR & MARITIME PROVINCES ;Dates : 1921 - 1922 ;Capital : Vladivostock ;Currency : 100 Kopeck s = 1 Rouble ;Refer : Russian Civil War Issues PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND ;Dates : 1861 - 1873 ;Capital : Charlottetown ;Currency : ( 1861 ) 12 Pence = 1 Shilling ; 20 shillings = 1 Pound : ( 1872 ) 100 Cent s = 1 Dollar ;Refer : Canadian States PROTECTORAT FRANçAIS ;Refer : French Protectorate, Morocco PRUSSIA ;Dates : 1850 - 1867 ;Capital : Berlin ;Currency : ( 1850 ) 12 Pfennig e = 1 silbergroschen; 30 silbergroschen = 1 Thaler : ( 1867 ) 60 Kreuzer = 1 Gulden ;See also : Germany (Imperial) ; : North German Confederation PUERTO RICO ;Dates : 1873 - 1900 ;Capital : San Juan ;Currency : ( 1873 ) 100 Centimo s = 1 Peseta : ( 1881 ) 1000 milesimas = 100 Centavo s = 1 Peso : ( 1898 ) 100 Cent s = 1 Dollar ;See also : Cuba & Puerto Rico PULAU PINANG ;Refer : Penang PUTTIALA ;Refer : Patiala SOURCES
