1 Chuckram - Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI

Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI ruled Travancore from 1885 until his death in 1924, navigating the state through the height of British Paramountcy while maintaining considerable internal autonomy. The chuckram was the base unit of Travancore's independent currency system — a deliberate assertion of the state's right to issue its own coinage, which Travancore maintained long after neighboring princely states had ceded that function to British India.
