Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in Danish India, which is now known as Tranquebar in Tamil Nadu, India. It was issued during the reign of King Christian V of Denmark and Norway, and it is made of lead, which was a common material for coins at that time. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item today.
