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, what makes this coin stand out is that it weighs only 2.37 grams, which is unusually light for a coin of its size and denomination. This suggests that the coin may have been produced using a different manufacturing process or material composition than other coins of the same era, making it a unique and interesting piece for collectors.
