Citeer: "Essor Prof"Top left and bottom right are from Kingdom of Travancore (Indian States and Kingdoms).The pages show the diameter is different (10.8mm compared to 11.3mm) Mine are slightly different diameters and one is a different thickness so it looks like I have one of each
It's possible they are not the same because 2 different types exist, the only difference is the weight:

Citeer: "@josephjk"It has what looks like the date of AH 1298 (١٢٩٨) on the reverse, or 1881 in the Gregorian calendar; so a quick search yields two coins, one of which has a 11mm diameter that matches the lettering on yours:
the one on the bottom left looks similar in style to a Maldives coin...but I am not sure
Citeer: "CassTaylor"It is very similar but not quite the same, there seem to be some lines and dots on mine that do not show up on the picture on that coin, unless there are variations with the design like there are in the Palembang coins

Citeer: "neilithicman"Those coins are very crudely made, so it's probably just some variation with the strike if you ask me.CiteerIt is very similar but not quite the same, there seem to be some lines and dots on mine that do not show up on the picture on that coin, unless there are variations with the design like there are in the Palembang coins

Citeer: "Essor Prof"The easiest way to tell is to stand the coins up next to each other. The planchets are different enough in thickness to easily tell.

Of course, the difference in weight can also only be determined with good equipment but a digital scale with an accuracy of 0.01 g only cost about 10 € and that's something every serious collector should have (f.i. to control the weight of silver coins).
Since your two coins have a slightly different diameter and thickness you probably have both types. But again, if you have a digital scale you're absolutely sure.
