More information in, Beena Sarasan's book "Traversing through travancore history through coins"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Thirai Cash coin from the Kingdom of Travancore is that it was used as a form of currency during a time when the region was known for its strong maritime trade networks. The coin's small weight and copper composition made it a practical and durable option for everyday transactions, and its use spread beyond the kingdom's borders to other parts of India and even Southeast Asia. Despite its age, the Thirai Cash coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Chera Dynasty.
