Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of lead, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal, yet it was still used as a circulating coin in Danish India during the reign of Frederik III (1648-1670). This suggests that the coin was likely used for small transactions and was not intended to be a high-value coin. Additionally, the fact that it was made of lead, which was a common material for coins at the time, indicates that it was likely produced in large quantities and was widely used in everyday transactions.
