Story behind coin VOC Kas copper coins issued by the Dutch Mint inPaliakate(Pulicat) (Northern Latitude 13.2) in Coromandel (south-east Indian coast). They are found in Lanka. Paliakatewas the VOC head office of the Coromandel since its establishment in 1610 to 1690 when it was superseded by Negapatnam. From 1781 to 1784 all the settlements on the coast were in British hands and in 1784Negapatnamhaving been ceded to the British,Paliakateagain became the head office until occupied again in 1795. Fort Gelria established in 1615 was the first VOC mint in India. Initialy copper coins with VOC monogram and aSanskritlegend were struck. In 1646 the Dutch received permission from the Golconda SultanAbd Allah Qutb Shah(AH 1035-1083 / CE 1626-1673) to strike coins atPaliakate"with the stamp of the King of Golconda" The inscription degenerated through the years and the word Allah, which was a wavy line in the beginning, became due course completely omitted. The small copper coins were current only within the limited area of the Company. Obverse : Kas value in roman Numerals as give in table below and characterPorPAL(Paliakate) above the largeVOCmonogram in beaded circle. Reverse : Arabic characters in beaded circle. In the small denominations struck in large quantities over a long period the inscriptions were corrupted by the Tamil engravers unacquainted with Arabic characters, finally degraded to undulated lines or crescents. .
