Beschrijving voorzijde Depiction of the divine couple Shiva and Parvati seated facing, rendered in a schematic and highly stylised manner characteristic of South Indian hammered copper coinage of the Nayaka period. The figures are presented in a frontal posture within an unbordered field, with iconographic details reduced to abstracted forms due to the small flan and crude striking technique. No surrounding legend is present on this side.

Aanvullende informatie

The Madurai Nayakas ruled as governors-turned-sovereigns under the declining Vijayanagara Empire, and their copper kasu issues reflect that ambiguity — coins struck by a dynasty that was nominally subordinate yet functionally independent for most of its existence. The Sri Vira title, adopted by multiple rulers in the line, complicates attribution; no single reign can be assigned to this type with confidence, which is precisely why the cataloged date range spans over a century.
