Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of Christian V (1670-1699), was made of lead, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, lead is a soft and malleable metal, which made it prone to wear and tear. As a result, the coin had a relatively short lifespan and was often replaced with newer coins made of more durable materials. Despite this, the 1 Cash coin remains an interesting piece of history and a unique collector's item for numismatists.
