Description

This bronze 1 Thira Kasu (Cash) coin, dated around 1811, was issued in the region of Travancore, drawing upon older Chera symbolic traditions that continued into later South Indian coinage. Weighing approximately 1.08 grams and measuring about 10 mm in diameter, it represents a small denomination used in everyday local transactions.

The obverse features a chakra (wheel), a sacred symbol associated with Lord Vishnu and widely used in South Indian royal iconography, rendered in a simple yet bold style.

The reverse displays a conch (shankha), another important religious and dynastic symbol, commonly paired with the chakra in traditional motifs of the region.

Coins of this type are valued for their continuity of ancient South Indian symbolism into later historical periods. This piece is particularly suitable for collectors focusing on Travancore issues, Chera-linked iconography, and early regional bronze coinage.
