Interesting fact
The Christian V 1687 2 Cash coin from Danish India 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, and those that are in good condition are highly prized by collectors.
