Interesting fact

The coin , the 4 Cash coin from Danish India made of Copper and weighing 2.4 grams, was minted during the reign of King Christian VII of Denmark in 1770. What's interesting about this coin is that it was part of a series of coins minted by the Danish East India Company, which was a trading company that had a significant presence in India during the 18th century. The coin features an image of King Christian VII on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other, and it was used as a form of currency in the Danish colonies in India.
