| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned royal cypher, composed of an interlaced 'DAC' monogram surmounted by a royal crown, divides the date '17' to the left and '70' to the right, with the numeral '4' appearing below in the lower field, indicating the denomination. The design is crudely executed on an irregular flan consistent with the hammered coinage produced for Danish settlements in India. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tranquebar, Denmark's coastal enclave on the Coromandel Coast, produced this piece under the authority of the Danish East India Company — the Asiatisk Kompagni — which had held the settlement since 1620. The cash denomination was a local Tamil unit of account, and Danish minting here was a practical concession to the realities of small-denomination trade in South India, where European coinage carried no traction in the bazaar.
The .2 variety distinction in KM#154 typically reflects die differences in the castle rendering on the reverse, a detail that has attracted serious specialist attention given the relatively short window of Tranquebar copper production.
