| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a seated or crouching figure, likely a deity or royal emblem, rendered in a crude but characteristic South Indian hammered style. The figure is surrounded by a border of raised dots arranged in a circle around the periphery of the flan. The field shows the typical uneven surface associated with hand-struck copper coinage of the Nayak period. The design is set within the irregular round flan with green patination covering much of the surface. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing four-armed deity, likely Vishnu or a form thereof, depicted frontally in the characteristic South Indian iconographic style with arms outstretched and attributes held in each hand. The figure stands in a slightly dynamic posture with legs apart, rendered in low relief with bold, simplified lines typical of Nayak copper coinage. The coin surface exhibits heavy green patination with areas of exposed copper. The overall design reflects the devotional Vaishnavite iconography prevalent under the Thanjavur Nayak rulers. |

Raghunatha Nayak ruled Thanjavur from 1600 to 1634 and was among the most intellectually distinguished of the Nayak governors, himself a composer and poet in Telugu and Sanskrit. His court was a deliberate center of literary patronage, and the administrative apparatus — including the minting of copper kasu for local market exchange — reflected a reign more interested in cultural consolidation than military expansion. The Thanjavur Nayaks operated as nominally subordinate to the Vijayanagara empire, though by Raghunatha's time that relationship was largely ceremonial following Talikota in 1565.
