| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a multi-armed deity, likely Durga or a form of Shakti, shown standing in frontal position within a circular border. The figure displays multiple arms radiating outward in a symmetrical arrangement, characteristic of South Indian iconographic convention. The relief is bold and summarily rendered in the crude hammered style typical of small copper kasu coinage of the Sivaganga princely state. No legible legend or inscription is present on this side. |

Sivaganga's existence as an independent chieftaincy was itself a product of Maratha military expansion — the state was carved out in 1730 when Sethupathi of Ramnad granted territory to a loyal commander, and its copper coinage followed accordingly. The political situation remained precarious throughout the period this kasu was struck, with Hyder Ali's forces raiding Tamil territories in the 1780s and the East India Company steadily absorbing neighboring jurisdictions.
By 1801, Sivaganga was absorbed into the Madras Presidency following the application of the Doctrine of Lapse's predecessors in British annexation policy.
