Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI, the ruler of the Kingdom of Travancore, in a traditional Indian style. However, the reverse side features a design inspired by European heraldry, with a shield bearing the emblem of the Travancore royal family, surrounded by a wreath and topped with a crown. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the time period in which the coin was minted.
