Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Chuckram - Chithira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma II (Pattern) ND (1940) from Kingdom of Travancore (Indian Hindu Dynasties) made of Gold weighing 11.79 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Western design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of the king, Chithira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma II, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse features a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, also known as Mahalakshmi, in a more Western-inspired style. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were present in the Kingdom of Travancore during this time period.
