| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting the sacred sankha (conch shell) of Travancore, rendered in high relief and enclosed within a raised circular border. The conch shell is shown in profile facing left, with fine detailing on its spiral form. Flanking the central circle on either side are decorative floral and foliate sprays arranged symmetrically, extending toward the milled rim. The overall composition is formal and heraldic in character, consistent with the traditional coinage of the Travancore princely state. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Travancore maintained its own coinage well into the British Raj period, a privilege preserved through its status as a princely state under subsidiary alliance. Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI reigned from 1885 to 1924, during which Travancore's mint at Trivandrum continued issuing silver denominations in the traditional chuckram system — a unit of account with no direct British equivalent and rooted in the kingdom's pre-colonial fiscal structure.
The KM#50 series spans a production window that outlasted the maharaja himself, with striking continuing under the regency after his death in 1924.
