"We have X. KASH pieces of this reign, bearing the fol- 
lowing dates : — 1816, 1822 and 1839, and we have heard of 
one bearing the date 1838. 
Fig. 18. — ^A fair representative of a long series of coins 
(1808-1839) weighing on an average 37-96 grains. 
Obverse. — The monogram of Frederick VI. as in Fig. 17. 
Reverse. — IV KAS. and date. 
There probably were two-kash pieces of C. VII. in the 
later form ; also one-kash pieces of that king and two and

We have also heard of a one-kash piece of Frederick VI

name of his successor, Christian VIII. 
Figs. 19 and 20 are fairly representative specimens, 
bearing on the obverse the monogram of the king — C. R. 
and the Roman numeral VIII beneath — under a crown. 
In addition to the coins above described, we have several 
others, which however are for the most pai-t too much worn 
to be legible. All the issues of the Danes in India are now 
becoming very rare indeed, and it is only by laying several 
of the same description side by side that anything like an 
intelligible legend can generally be deciphered, owing to the 
bad state of preservation of all but the latest types. Many 
too have monograms so complicated in design that in the 
absence of a date it is impossible to know to whom to 
attribute them. Among those to which we are unable to
