<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 337810, member: 1876&quot;]Indo-Danish was a settlement established by Danish Asiatic Company and it was just a factory site and seaport operated by them. Tranquebar was the only town where they minted coins. In 1845, they sold this settlement to East India Company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have collected Indo-Danish coins in past and built a small collection of this small European settlement several years ago. Those are not very attractive coins and most lead coins didn&#039;t survived much in the coastal Southern Indian weather. The copper coins are often found in severely corroded state with very less details available on coins. The silver/gold coins are rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>You reminded me of a very good old friend I met more then 15 years ago in a coin shop in Bombay. His name was Jansen Uno-Barner from Denmark and was traveling India in those days. In that trip he found few Indo-Danish coins from local dealers and wanted to do more research on them. I was in touch with him for several years and helped him building his (as well as mine) collection of Indo-Danish coins. Few years back he published his book on Indo-Danish coins. It’s a very good reference book on this subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to see the images of those coins you added in your collection...</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
