TRAVANCORE...Silver 2 Chuckrams ( 1/2 Panam)...5 different types

Travancore......Conch...different shapes...2 Chuckrams (Ara Panam or Half Panam)...Silver.

Weight.....0.74 gms......Diam: 8mm to 9mm.

Maharaja Bala Rama Vama (1798 - 1810) & Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma (1829 - '46) period.

Probably, the second coin from the left , must have left the mint, during Rani Gouri Parvati Bai (1815 - '29) regime? Or is it a silver specimen of the gold pattern coin (Ashmolean Musuem, Oxford, U.K.) of Swathi Tirunal? Perhaps, someone could shed a light on this mystery coin (second from left).
