INDO-DANISH COINS, 
Reverse. — Very mucli worn, though we can with some 
difficulty decipher D.O.C. under a crown. 
No date appears on either coin. 
Christian VI was Frederick's successor, and came to the 
throne in the year 1730. 
A change in the monogram of the Company seems to 
have been made at the time ; for while all the coins of 
Christian V and Frederick IV have the monogram D.O.C, 
we have not come across a single Specimen of Christian VI, 
or any of his successors bearing this monogram, but hence- 
forth an A takes the place of the 0. What led to this 
change in the name of the Company we cannot say. 
The coins of Christian VI occur in various sizes, but are 
generally of but two different varieties. 
Fig. 7. — This coin is figured by Captain R. H. C. Tufnell 
in Plate 4, Fig. 67, of his recent "Hints to Coin-collectors." 
Weight 1 32-7 grains. 
Obverse. — The monogram of the king — C. enclosing the 
numeral 6 — surmounted by a crown. 
Reverse. — A similar crown above the monogram of the 
Company, D.A.C. (Danish Asiatic Company^ or Direction of 
the Asiatic Company). 
Fig. 8 belongs to a later variety. 
Average weight : 4 1 '2 grains. 
This is probably a IV KASH piece of Christian VI, 
as its weight is but a few grains more than the average of 
the coins of that value struck by Christ iau VII and re- 
corded below. 
Obverse. — Similar to the last. 
Reverse. — The monogram D.A.C, in larger and bolder 
characters than in the last, with a sort of ornamental work 
above the monogram and the numeral 4 standing for 4 kash 
beneath it.
