Overstrikes on leadcoins from Tranquebar

Overstrike coins are very thrilling to study. They can tell about the sequence of minting. During the last 50 years many coins has appeared by the waves attacking the coast in Tranquebar. Some of these coins especially among the lead coins are overstrikes. For lead coins from Tranquebar from Christian 4. and Frederik 3. so many overstrikes has gradually been found, that ournowledge of the sequence of minting is now rather good. But our knowledge is not complete, so new overstrikes can still be of great help.

When you look at this list of overstrikes it is striking how often a coin is struck on the previous coin in i Standard Catalog of World Coins by Krause and Mishler. For example KM 37 on KM 36, KM 36 on KM 35, KM 35 on KM 34 and so on.It is because the order in World Coins to a great extent is based on the overstrikes, to list the coins in the order of minting.
