| 表面の説明 | Deity, identified as Shiva, seated in padmasana (lotus posture) facing forward, with legs crossed and arms extended in a devotional attitude. The figure is rendered in a schematic, archaic style typical of Vijayanagara copper coinage, with broad shoulders and simplified facial features. The design occupies the central field of the irregularly shaped flan, with the relief worn but the seated posture clearly discernible. |

Sadashivaraya was nominally the last sovereign of the Vijayanagara Empire, but real power rested entirely with Aliya Rama Raya, who ruled as regent and conducted wars, diplomacy, and administration in the emperor's name. Coins struck under this reign thus represent a political fiction — an emperor who held the throne without holding authority. The arrangement collapsed catastrophically at the Battle of Talikota in 1565, when Rama Raya was captured and beheaded on the field, triggering the sack of Vijayanagara city itself.
Copper kasu of this period circulated in a densely monetized regional economy supporting one of the wealthiest urban centers in the sixteenth-century world.
