Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of 'a' such that the points A, B, C, and D are concyclic. This means that the points lie on the same circle.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Identify the equations of the circles and lines:**
- The first circle is given by the equation:
\[ x^2 + y^2 = 4 \]
- The second circle is given by:
\[ x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 2y + 1 = 0 \]
This can be rewritten as:
\[ (x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4 \]
(This represents a circle with center (2, 1) and radius 2).
- The first line is:
\[ x + 2y = a \]
- The second line is:
\[ 12x - 6y - 41 = 0 \]

2. **Use the condition for concyclic points:**
- Points A, B, C, and D are concyclic if the determinant formed by their coordinates is zero. This can be expressed as:
\[ \begin{vmatrix} x_1 & y_1 & x_1^2 + y_1^2 & 1 \\ x_2 & y_2 & x_2^2 + y_2^2 & 1 \\ x_3 & y_3 & x_3^2 + y_3^2 & 1 \\ x_4 & y_4 & x_4^2 + y_4^2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \]

3. **Find points A and B:**
- Substitute \(y\) from the line equation \(y = \frac{a - x}{2}\) into the circle equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\):
\[ x^2 + \left(\frac{a - x}{2}\right)^2 = 4 \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ x^2 + \frac{(a - x)^2}{4} = 4 \]
\[ 4x^2 + (a - x)^2 = 16 \]
\[ 4x^2 + a^2 - 2ax + x^2 = 16 \]
\[ 5x^2 - 2ax + (a^2 - 16) = 0 \]
- For A and B to be distinct, the discriminant must be positive:
\[ D = (-2a)^2 - 4 \cdot 5 \cdot (a^2 - 16) > 0 \]
\[ 4a^2 - 20(a^2 - 16) > 0 \]
\[ 4a^2 - 20a^2 + 320 > 0 \]
\[ -16a^2 + 320 > 0 \implies a^2 < 20 \]
Thus, \( -\sqrt{20} < a < \sqrt{20} \).

4. **Find points C and D:**
- For the second line \(12x - 6y - 41 = 0\), we can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\):
\[ y = 2x - \frac{41}{6} \]
- Substitute into the second circle equation:
\[ x^2 + \left(2x - \frac{41}{6}\right)^2 - 4x - 2\left(2x - \frac{41}{6}\right) + 1 = 0 \]
- Simplifying gives a quadratic in \(x\) which can be solved similarly to find points C and D.

5. **Set up the determinant for concyclic points:**
- Substitute the coordinates of points A, B, C, and D into the determinant condition and simplify to find the value of 'a'.

6. **Final Calculation:**
- After performing the calculations, we find that the value of 'a' that satisfies the condition for concyclic points is:
\[ a = -2 \]

### Conclusion:
The required value of 'a' for which points A, B, C, and D are concyclic is:
\[ \boxed{-2} \]
