Danish India's Tranquebar settlement had been issuing cash coinage since the 17th century, operating a local mint that produced copper denominations for everyday transactions in a denomination system borrowed directly from South Indian monetary practice. By 1816, the colony was already in economic decline — Denmark would sell Tranquebar to the British East India Company in 1845 for a modest sum, effectively conceding that the venture had ceased to be commercially viable.

The extended date range reflects reuse of dies across multiple striking years rather than continuous fresh production.
