| 背面描述 | Central field featuring the interlaced or conjoined monogram DAC (Dansk Asiatisk Compagni — Danish Asiatic Company), surmounted by a royal crown. The numeral 4, denoting the denomination, appears below the monogram, flanked by dots. The design is boldly struck on an irregular, roughly square flan consistent with the hand-hammered technique employed at the Tranquebar mint. |

The Danish East India Company's Tranquebar settlement on the Coromandel Coast was one of Denmark's few genuine colonial footholds in Asia, and the cash coinage produced there served purely local trade needs — Indian merchants had little use for European specie. Christian VI, who reigned from 1730 to 1746 without ever visiting his Asian territories, appears on this issue in name only; the coins functioned within a Tamil-speaking economy where the king's identity was irrelevant to its acceptance.
Tranquebar cash were struck to approximate local weight standards rather than Danish ones, a practical concession to the bazaar economy the Company depended on.
