| Obverse description | At center, a high-relief depiction of the traditional Sinhalese lion statue — a rampant lion facing left, holding a ball, rendered in finely detailed sculptural style. The surrounding legend in Sinhala script arcs across the upper left, while the English inscription INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY curves along the right. The dates 1948 and 1998 flank the large numeral 50 in the lower field, commemorating the golden jubilee of Sri Lankan independence. The coin features a reeded border with an inner raised rim framing the design. |
