Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of King Frederik III (1648-1670), 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, many of these coins have survived in poor condition, with visible signs of wear and damage. Despite this, they remain an important part of numismatic history and are highly sought after by collectors today.
