INnO-DANISH COINS. 
assign a place is a coin similar to Tufnell, Fig. 66 (" Hints 
to Coin-collectors") but weighing only 16"4 grains ; wMle the 
obverse bears the D.O.C. in large and well defined characters, 
the reverse is worn almost smooth. The coin however 
may belong to the reign of either Frederick lY or Christian 
v., probably the former, as the form of the letters differs 
materially from those of the latter, while the occurrence of 
the letter 0 in the monogram fixes it prior to 1746, the latest 
year in which that letter occurs. It is worthy of note too 
that hitherto so few silver coins struck by the Danes in India 
have been found ; and of the four descriptions that are 
known, two are as far as we can learn unique in this country. 
Further search should throw more light on the subject and 
help to preserve in our museums and private collections a 
more complete record of the issues of a power whose connec- 
tion with this country has now almost entirely ceased.
