Kurunegala, the city honored on this coin, served as the capital of a medieval Sinhalese kingdom during the 13th and 14th centuries — a period when the royal court shifted repeatedly northward under sustained South Indian pressure. The regional commemorative rupee series, of which this is a part, was introduced by the Central Bank to mark Sri Lanka's provincial capitals, most of which carry histories obscured by colonial-era renaming and administrative reorganization.
AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was adopted for the higher-denomination circulating coins partly due to its resistance to the corrosive humidity endemic to the island's coastal regions.
