| 正面描述 | Garuda, the divine eagle-vehicle of Vishnu, depicted kneeling and facing right in low relief within a plain field. The figure displays outstretched wings rendered in a schematic, stylized manner characteristic of late medieval South Indian copper coinage. The body, talons, and wing feathers are boldly but crudely indicated, consistent with hammered die production. No legend or border ornament is present. |

The Madurai Sultanate had collapsed by 1378, absorbed into the expanding Vijayanagara Empire, and the kasu denominations struck under subsequent Vijayanagara-allied rulers represent one of the more administratively fragmented coinages of medieval south India — local lords operating under imperial suzerainty but issuing in their own name. The window of 1469–1476 falls within a period of persistent succession disputes among Madurai's governors, which may account for the relative difficulty in attributing specific types to individual rulers with confidence.
