Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pagoda coin from the Kingdom of Travancore is that it was minted during the reign of Rama Varma IV, who was known for his efforts to modernize and develop the state. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Malayalam, the local language of the region, which highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Indian subcontinent during that time.
