INUO-DANISH COINS. 
75 
We have in our cabinet also two other coins of this 
reign, weighing 22 and 7*2 grains, respectively. Both these 
seem to have suffered much from circulation, so much so tha.t 
the only thing clearly visible on either of them is the mono- 
gram of the king on one side (Fig. 10). A comparison of the 
weights of these coins, with Fig. 7, making allowances for the 
decrease in weight caused by wear, seems to establish the 
fact that this coin is a IV KASH piece, while the two last 
are 2 and 1 kash, respectively. 
The next king of Denmark was Frederick Y, who came 
to the throne in 1746. It may be of interest to know that 
he married Princess Louisa, the daughter of the king of 
England. 
Coins of this king in our cabinet are of two sizes : the 
smaller of the two is a one-kash piece, being nearly -} of the 
weight of the larger, which is neai-ly equal in weight to 
that of the 4 kash pieces of Christian VII and his successors. 
Fig. 9. — We have two coins of this size. 
Average weight : 39 "7 grains. 
Obverse. — The monogram of the king. — The letter F and 
the numeral 5 being combined and surmounted by a neatly 
executed crown which is however much worn on the specimen 
figured. 
Reverse. — The monogram D.A.C. with the date distri- 
buted on either side and the numeral 4 underneath. The 
reading of the date furnishes the year 176 — with a gap, 
which may be supplied by any digit under 7, Frederick V 
having died in 1766. 
Another issue of this king weighs 9 '2 grains. Its obverse 
and reverse are very similar to the last ; the only difference 
being that the numeral 1 appears in the place of the 4 under 
the monogram, to denote the value of the coin, — 1 KASH. 
Of Christian VII we have a fairly long series of coins 
in copper and silver. We have not been able to find any 
gold issues of the Danish mint, nor have we as yet heard 
of issues in silver before Christian VII. Copper coins of
