1 Kasu - Sri Vira Madurai Nayakas

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.
