| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered copper flan bearing a Sinhalese inscription in the field arranged across multiple registers. The legend, rendered in archaic Sinhalese script, reads 'Sri Parakramabahu', referencing the regnal title of the issuing monarch. The overall design is characteristic of medieval Sri Lankan coinage, with deeply struck but irregularly formed characters occupying the entire face of the coin. The field shows typical patination and surface granularity consistent with hammered copper issues of the Kotte period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Parākramabāhu VI ruled from Kotte — near modern Colombo — and was the last king to unify Sri Lanka under a single authority. His reign coincided with the early Portuguese reconnaissance of the Indian Ocean, though contact with European maritime powers came only after his death. The massa was a low-denomination workhorse of everyday Sinhalese commerce, and copper examples from this reign survive in highly variable condition owing to Sri Lanka's humid, acidic soil.
