| Aanvullende informatie |
The Danish East India Company's Tranquebar settlement on the Coromandel Coast was one of Denmark's few genuine colonial footholds in Asia, and its coinage was a practical necessity for petty trade where European silver was hoarded rather than spent. This lead cash was issued in the final year of Christian IV's reign — he died in February 1648 — making pieces dated to that year transitional between his administration and that of Frederick III.
Lead was chosen not for its prestige but because local bazaar transactions demanded low-denomination coins in quantity, and the metal was cheap enough to mint at a useful face value.
