| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a finely engraved vignette of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress at centre-right, rendered in dark intaglio against a peach and green guilloche underprint, with a traditional ceremonial needle and decorative circular motif overlaid to the right. At lower left, a processional vignette of elephants and costumed figures appears in letterpress, while the large numeral '2000' is printed in dark ink at upper left and again in outline form at lower right.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central rectangular vignette, framed by an elaborate ornamental border in intaglio, containing a reproduction of one of the celebrated Sigiriya fresco paintings — a female figure rendered in profile in warm terracotta and dark tones, holding a flower. The issuer's name in Sinhala, Tamil, and English is inscribed above the vignette within the frame, and the denomination in all three scripts appears below. The background carries a fine geometric guilloche pattern in pale peach tones, with the numeral '2000' at upper left and the printer's imprint 'DE LA RUE' at lower right. |
