| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line inscription in Sinhalese script filling the entire field, rendered in the bold raised characters typical of medieval Lankan copper coinage. The legend reads 'Sri raja Lilavati', identifying the issuing queen by name and royal title. The lettering is arranged in horizontal registers occupying nearly the full flan. A beaded border encircles the inscription. The script style is consistent with 12th–13th century Sinhalese epigraphic conventions. |
