Pudukkottai Princely State – Amman Kasu

Description

This elegant Amman Kasu was issued by the Princely State of Pudukkottai between 1889 and 1934, reflecting the deep religious traditions of the Thondaimaan rulers.
The obverse showcases Goddess Brihadhambaal, the presiding deity of the Pudukkottai royal family, seated gracefully in a traditional devotional posture.
Such temple-associated imagery makes this coin culturally significant and highly symbolic.
The reverse bears the Telugu legend “Vijaya”, a word associated with victory and prosperity.
Amman Kasu coins were often linked to ritual offerings and temple use, adding spiritual value beyond their monetary role.
A charming and collectible piece representing the faith, artistry, and heritage of South Indian princely coinage.
