2 Chuckrams - Avittam Thirunal Bala Rama Varma

Avittam Thirunal Bala Rama Varma ruled Travancore for less than two years before dying in 1810, making his coinage among the shortest-reigned issues of any princely state in South India. The kingdom at this moment was navigating the tightening grip of the British Subsidiary Alliance, signed by his predecessor, which had effectively subordinated Travancore's military and foreign affairs to the East India Company by 1795.

KM#F8 is a minor denomination struck in the local chuckram system, which persisted independently of British colonial coinage well into the nineteenth century.
