1/2 Cash - Christian IV

Aversbeschreibung	Central field bearing the royal cypher 'C4' (for Christian IV) rendered in a bold, crudely engraved style characteristic of hammered lead coinage. The monogram is formed by the letter C intersecting with the numeral 4, occupying the majority of the flan. The irregular planchet and flat relief reflect the primitive striking conditions of Danish India trade coinage.

Zusätzliche Informationen	The Danish East India Company operated its Indian headquarters at Tranquebar, a small coastal settlement on the Coromandel Coast acquired from the Nayak of Tanjore in 1620. This lead piece was struck for local trade use there, where fractional copper and lead coinages were the everyday currency of the bazaar. The Danish crown had little direct control over the coinage — the Company managed its own mint at Tranquebar largely autonomously. KM#48 in lead is among the more elusive of the Tranquebar fractions; the soft metal survives poorly.
