| Reverse description | The reverse bears the date of issue rendered as '50' (for 1650) alongside the abbreviated inscription 'P.P', standing for Sankt Peder og Sankt Poul (Saints Peter and Paul), the patron saints of the Tranquebar settlement. The numerals and letters are crudely arranged in the field, characteristic of the hand-struck lead coinage produced for local circulation in Danish India. The overall strike is weak and irregular, with the design elements unevenly distributed across the flan. |
