| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a prominent six-pointed star (Star of David or hexagram form), formed by two overlapping equilateral triangles, with a single raised pellet at the centre. The star device fills most of the flan and is executed in a bold linear style typical of hammered Travancore issues. The surrounding border consists of a ring of raised globules, mirroring the obverse treatment. No inscriptions or legends appear on this face. The design is a traditional Travancore mint mark associated with the royal house. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Avittam Thirunal Bala Rama Varma ruled Travancore for less than two years before dying in 1810, making issues from his reign among the briefest and scarcest in the entire Travancore series. The kingdom at this point was operating under the Subsidiary Alliance with the British East India Company, signed in 1795, which left the raja as nominal sovereign while British Residents exercised increasing administrative weight.
KM#7 in this denomination is seldom encountered, partly due to the abbreviated reign and partly because the half chuckram circulated hard in a region where small silver fractions were the backbone of daily commerce.
