| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features an interlaced double cypher of King Frederik IV (double F4 monogram) rendered in an elaborate calligraphic style. The conjoined monogram is surmounted by a royal crown. The design is contained within a beaded border running along the coin's periphery. The strike is typical of the hand-struck coinage produced for Danish colonial use in Tranquebar, resulting in a slightly irregular planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Danish East India Company's Tranquebar settlement — ceded by the Tanjore Nayak ruler Raghunatha Nayak in 1620 — operated with considerable autonomy in southern India, including the right to strike its own coinage. These cash pieces circulated locally alongside Mughal and regional South Indian issues, and were struck at the Tranquebar mint rather than in Denmark. Frederik IV reigned from 1699 to 1730, which brackets this type precisely.
The cash denomination was native to the Coromandel Coast economy, not a Danish invention — the Company simply adopted it to facilitate trade with local merchants who demanded familiar denominations.
