| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nagari inscription occupying the entire field, arranged in multiple lines across the flan in the distinctive compact script style of medieval Sri Lankan copper coinage. The legend reads 'Sri Dharmasoka Deva', the royal epithet of the issuing king, rendered in Nagari characters. The inscription fills the available field, flanked on the left by a stylised animal figure, and the whole design is bounded by a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Minted during the reign of Dharmasoka, whose rule lasted a single year before he was deposed — one of several rapid successions that destabilized the Polonnaruwa kingdom in its terminal decades. By the early 13th century, the once-dominant Sinhalese kingdom was fragmenting under sustained pressure from South Indian invasions, and these fractional copper issues circulated in what was already a contracting political geography. The brevity of the reign keeps surviving examples scarce in any attributed form.
