Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of Christian VI (1730-1746), was made of copper and weighed 0.96 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the Danish East India Company's currency system in the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century. It was used for everyday transactions and was also used as a unit of account for goods and services. The coin's design featured the Danish king's monogram on one side and the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the other, reflecting the cultural exchange and blending of traditions that occurred during the Danish presence in India.
