| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a large capital letter 'L' in the central field, representing the royal monogram of the Portuguese Crown, enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. The letter is rendered in a simple, bold serif style characteristic of Portuguese colonial copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional legend or subsidiary devices. |

Portuguese Ceylon's copper fractionals occupied a monetary niche largely ignored by Lisbon — small enough that colonial administrators issued them with minimal metropolitan oversight, which explains why the type persisted across nearly six decades and multiple governors without significant design intervention. The bazaruco itself was a denomination inherited from earlier Indian Ocean trade networks, not invented by the Portuguese.
KM#2 is notoriously inconsistent in flan preparation, with irregular planchet shapes the norm rather than the exception across the entire production run.
