2 Kasu - Rajas of SivaGanga

Sivaganga was a zamindari — later briefly a raja — in the Madurai region, and its coinage history is inseparable from the turbulence that defined the Carnatic wars of the mid-eighteenth century. The estate changed hands violently, passed through periods of British interference, and saw its ruling family repeatedly displaced. That coins were struck at all across this date range reflects the persistence of local fiscal authority even as Maratha, British, and Nawabi powers competed for dominance across Tamil Nadu.

The KM#6 attribution covers a long span, and individual pieces within it likely reflect multiple issuing moments rather than continuous production.
