| Beschrijving keerzijde | A codfish depicted in profile occupies the upper portion of the field, surmounted by a small crown; the capital letter 'A' appears prominently in the lower field beneath the fish. The design is boldly struck in low relief on an irregular lead flan, consistent with the primitive production methods employed at the Danish colonial trading post of Tranquebar. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Danish presence at Tranquebar (Tharangambadi) on the Coromandel Coast dated to 1620, when the Danish East India Company established its factory there under a treaty with the Nayak of Tanjore. These lead cash pieces were struck locally for petty trade, competing directly with the indigenous cash coins of South India and the issues of other European trading companies operating in the region. Lead was the practical choice — copper was expensive to source and control, and the low-denomination trade these coins served demanded nothing more.
