Though the Viraraya fanams (KM29 silver and KM30 gold) are listed under Travancore they were issued by rulers in Ceylon. They were probably found in Travancore because they are close to each other geographically and coins might have been used in trade.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Viraraya Fanam ND (1881) coin from the Kingdom of Travancore is that it was made of gold and weighed 0.41 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
