Additional information

Travancore maintained its own coinage well into the twentieth century under an arrangement that made it one of the more administratively autonomous of the Indian princely states. Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI reigned from 1885 until his death in 1924, meaning the later dates in this issue's range were struck posthumously under a different ruler — a cataloguing anomaly that has caused persistent confusion about reign attribution for this type.
