| Obverse description | The State Emblem of Sri Lanka depicted in full, centrally positioned in the field. The emblem features a golden lion passant holding a sword, set within a series of concentric decorative rings. A Dhamma Chakra (Wheel of the Law) surmounts the emblem at the top, while a traditional oil lamp (punkalas) occupies the base, flanked by petals of the blue lotus, the national flower. A crescent moon and a sun symbol appear at either side of the base on a stepped platform, with the entire design rendered in high relief against a flat field. |

A stylised lotus blossom in relief appears above the denomination inscriptions. The entire design is encircled by a decorative wreath of foliage, with the country name in Sinhala script (ශ්රී ලංකා) arching along the upper border within the wreath. |
