Reverse 12 pellets (some off flan) above a crescent representing the Rasi or the 12 signs of the zodiac. Flowers/sprays below. Travancore was a major center of Black pepper exports from India and there are opinions that the flowers/sprays represent pepper vines. They are more likely lotus flowers associated with the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi
