Got a feeling this one might be from Travancore?
I'm pretty sure the first side is portraying a symbolized conch shell with some type of animal on the other side such as an elephant, bull or lion?
But still can't find an exact match?

Yes that is what I thought too. I'm not seeing anything close though.

Is a Thiraviya kasu of Travancore area. On one side is a conch shell and on the other side is "Purusha mruga" also called "vyagrapada" in Hindu mythology. It is mythical creature, half lion and half lion.
