Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Rama Varma IV 1881 coin from the Kingdom of Travancore is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Rama Varma IV, the ruler of Travancore at the time, in a traditional Indian style, while the reverse side features the British Royal Coat of Arms, reflecting the colonial influence of the British Empire. This blending of styles is a testament to the complex cultural exchange that occurred between India and Europe during the colonial period.
