| Obverse description | Standing figure of the king depicted in frontal indigenous style, holding a flower or lotus in the left hand, rendered in low relief with stylized drapery folds visible below. A symbol or device appears above the figure, flanked by what appears to be a crescent or animal motif at the top. A plant or floral spray occupies the left field, while a cluster of pellets is arranged in the right field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the indigenous Sri Lankan coinage tradition of the Polonnaruwa period. |
