Interesting fact
The 2 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of Christian V (1670-1699), 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 4.71 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This is likely due to the fact that lead is a dense material, and the coin was designed to have a larger diameter than other coins of the same denomination. This makes it an interesting and unique piece for collectors to seek out.
