Nayakas z Madurai rządzili Madurai i okolicznymi regionami jako autonomiczni władcy od 1565 do 1736 roku. Moneta ta należy do okresu 1600-1736 i jest częścią monety "Sri Vi Ra".
W niektórych książkach wspomniano, że stojąca postać na awersie to Pan Venkateswara, ale w rzeczywistości jest to bogini Meenakshi, która jest główną boginią w świątyni Madurai Meenakshi Amman.
