Tranquebar, present-day Tharangampadi on the Coromandel Coast, became a Danish trading settlement in 1620 through an agreement with Raghunatha Nayak of Thanjavur. Its coinage preserves a distinctive chapter of European trade in India, combining Danish royal identity with the monetary needs of an Indian settlement.
