- On January 3, 1750 A.D., the kingdom of Travancore was dedicated to the deity Sri Padmanabha (Lord Vishnu) of Trivandrum and from then on the rulers of Travancore ruled the kingdom as the servants of Sri Padmanabha (Padmanabhadasan).
- This coin is also known as the 'Puvitta Panam' (fanam with flowers)
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth and prosperity, on one side, and the royal insignia of the Kingdom of Travancore on the other. This highlights the cultural and religious significance of the coin, as well as its value as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
