| Obverse description | Standing figure of the king rendered in indigenous Sri Lankan style, depicted frontally and holding a flower in one hand. The royal effigy is shown with stylized drapery and flanked by decorative floral or vegetal elements. The design reflects the distinctive local artistic tradition of the Polonnaruwa period, with bold, somewhat crude relief typical of hammered copper coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
