DENMARK. Tranquebar (Danish India). 2 Royaliner, 1781?. Eastern India. Christian VII. NGC EF-45. CONTEMPORARY COUNTERFEIT. KM-cf. 171; Sieg-cf. 83.1; UBJ-cf. 274; Schou;- ; Bruun-8794. Interesting and rare example of a Double Royaliner contemporarily minted in Eastern India. The engraving style is clearly different than expected with a monogram connecting the "C" and the "7". The lettering also differs in style while it appears rather approximative. The visible part of the denomination reads "AIIIER" with a rather suspicious "R" resembling a falling "C". The date is also challenging to read and leaves the decade up to interpretation. In the 1928 Bruun Collection Catalogue, Schou described this coins as a Double Royaliner with an indeterminable date. The silver content appears to match the expectations of the official issue. Estimate: €200 - €300. Provenance: From the L.E. Bruun Collection.
