DANISH INDIA: TRANQUEBAR: Frederik III, 1648-1670, lead kas (2.88g), ND, KM-49, Gray-79, Jensen-92, crowned F // 3 R D, said to be an anagram for Latin "Fredericus tertius rex Daniae; overstruck on a kas of Christian IV (the C 4 and part of his crown are visible on the obverse of this piece, uncertain host reverse type), VF, RRRR, ex Brunn Online Auction 1807 lot 5130, ex Solar Collection. This is a historically important type, not noted in the three publications cited here, nor in Sieg's, nor with any of the specimens sold by Brunn. This piece (4.04g) and the one sold in our Auction 20, lot 1702 (4.37g) reveal that this type retains the roughly 4.00g weight standard of Christian IV, reduced to about 2.85g for Frederik III (individual specimen of Frederik III vary from about 2.20g to 3.65g, the range of all other examples in this auction). It is possible that the earlier issues of Frederik III adhere to a standard of about 3.0g, reduced to about 2.5g towards the end of his reign.
