Comment
- Note: Previous Sch#1241e (Scholten)Interesting fact
The 1 Cash coin from Dutch India, minted in Negapatnam, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was widely used for coinage in the 18th and 19th centuries due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. Despite its small weight of 1.29 grams, the coin still maintained its value as a standard circulation coin, highlighting the importance of copper in the economy of Dutch India during that time.
