| Reverse description | Inscription in Sinhala script arranged in four lines across the field, reading the name and title of the issuing ruler. The characters are rendered in the angular, bold style characteristic of medieval Sri Lankan epigraphy. The legends are set within a beaded border consistent with the obverse, and the overall layout fills the flan without a defined exergue. The script is the primary decorative and identifying element of the reverse. |
