Sivasri Pulumavi ruled during a period of sustained Satavahana recovery following the dynasty's protracted conflicts with the Western Kshatrapas — the Indo-Scythian satraps who had repeatedly wrested the northwestern Deccan from Satavahana control. His billon drachms follow the debased silver tradition the Satavahanas inherited and further reduced from their Kshatrapa rivals, essentially copying the format of the enemy coinage while substituting their own royal identity.
The ACR#693 reference places this among a documented series, though die linkage studies on Pulumavi-era coinage remain underdeveloped compared to the broader Satavahana corpus.
