Comment
- There are two different types of Anantha Varahan, one: without lotus sprigs and the other with lotus sprigs. Coins of Rani Lakshmi Bayi typically have lotus sprigs .- Karthika Thirunal Rama Varma is also known as Dharma Raja
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe in Hindu mythology, on one side, and the king's name and title in Malayalam on the other side. This highlights the cultural and religious significance of Hinduism in the Kingdom of Travancore during that time period.
