Note: In the Travancore state, the gold Tulabhara Kaasu represents the Tulapurusha Danam ceremony that was performed in ancient days and could be regarded as a colorful representation of the numismatic heritage of the Travancore state. It was believed that these coins were made out of gold equivalent to the weight of the Maharaja and that they were distributed to the Brahmins. Hence, they were known as Thulabhara Kaasu. Originally, these coins were used for donations and were not part of the State's currency. The gold procured for this purpose was purified, coined in various sizes and weights, and the inscription "Sree Padmanabha" was inscribed on one side of the coin, which was the name of the family deity of the house of Travancore.
