Some coins of Tranquebar are struck bearing the names of the ships which brought in the metal used to strike coins, presumably as a means to account for a measure of the bullion flow. The metal for this coin was brought in on a ship called 'St. Anna', which was a 350 Laster (900 tons) ship. It sailed from Copenhagen together with a ship named 'St Iacob' in 1635 and reached Tranquebar on 2nd September 1636.
