| Beschrijving voorzijde | Royal crown displayed prominently in the upper field, with the royal cypher 'F·3' (for Frederik III) rendered in large characters beneath it in the central field. The design is crudely executed in the primitive cast style typical of Danish Indian cash coinage, with an irregular flan characteristic of lead-cast minor coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tranquebar's lead cash coinage occupies an odd corner of Danish colonial history — the denomination was borrowed directly from the local Tamil monetary system, which the Danish East India Company had no practical choice but to adopt after establishing their Coromandel Coast factory at Tharangambadi in 1620. Lead was the accepted metal for this fractional unit throughout the region, not a cost-cutting compromise. Frederik III never set foot in Asia; his name on these pieces reflects little more than administrative formality from Copenhagen, some 8,000 kilometers removed from wherever these were actually struck and spent.
