2 Chuckrams - Moolam Thirunal Rama Varma VI

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.
