| Reverse description | The reverse carries a vignette of a Daul Bera drummer and a Malpadaya Netuma dancer as central design elements celebrating traditional Sri Lankan performing arts. At upper right, a guard-stone engraved with guardian deities provides an architectural motif drawn from ancient Sinhalese heritage. Along the right border, a continuous double-floral guilloche pattern known as the Dvithva Liya Vela frames the composition, with denomination numerals and trilingual authority inscriptions completing the design. |
