| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crescent, oriented with horns upward, occupies the central field, surmounted by a single diamond-shaped pellet. Below the crescent appear two curved lines accompanied by ten pellets arranged in a stylized manner, representing the Vishnupaadam — a symbolic depiction of the sacred feet of Lord Vishnu. The design is compact given the small flan, and peripheral elements are frequently struck off-flan. |

Travancore maintained its own coinage well into the British Raj period through a combination of treaty rights and administrative inertia — the East India Company, and later the Crown, tolerated autonomous princely coinages provided they caused no commercial disruption. Ayilyam Thirunal's reign ran from 1860 to 1880, and the chuckram denominations in silver were struck in enormous quantities relative to their tiny physical size, feeding a local economy that resisted British currency standardization longer than most southern states.
The 7 mm diameter makes this among the smallest silver coins produced by any Indian princely state, and handling losses in trade were reportedly significant enough that mint records frequently show production runs adjusted mid-cycle.
