| Obverse description | Standing figure of the king rendered in indigenous Sinhalese style, depicted frontally and holding a flower in one hand. The design features a stylized architectural or vegetal motif below and around the royal figure, with a beaded border encircling the flan. The engraving is bold and deeply struck in the traditional South Asian indigenous manner, characteristic of Polonnaruwa-period coinage. |
