| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the Portuguese royal arms: a shield bearing five escutcheons arranged in a quincunx pattern, each containing five roundels (quinas), enclosed within a pointed shield of distinctly medieval heraldic form. The shield is surmounted by a crown rendered in low relief. The entire device is set within a beaded or rope-like border, consistent with the crude hammered fabric typical of colonial Portuguese copper coinage of Ceylon. The design is boldly struck though somewhat irregular in outline due to the hand-hammering technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The bazaruco was a Portuguese colonial unit derived from the Indian term bazarucos, used across Goa, Cochin, and Ceylon to denominate the lowest-value copper currency circulating among local populations. Ceylon's Portuguese administration issued these pieces during a period of sustained military pressure from the Dutch VOC, which began systematically seizing Portuguese Indian Ocean ports from the 1630s onward. Colombo itself fell to the Dutch in 1656 — one year after this type's issue window closes.
