The Danish Asiatic Company, chartered in 1732, operated its own scrip coinage for use in trade along its routes to India and China — these pieces functioned within the company's commercial settlements rather than as general Danish crown currency.

KM#TS13 places this among token and scrip issues rather than crown coinage, a classification that has historically suppressed collector attention despite the genuine rarity of surviving examples in decent condition.
