| Obverse description | Within a beaded circular border, the denomination mark 'IIS' (representing 2 Stuiver) rendered in a stylized monogram or script form occupies the central field. The design is simple and utilitarian, characteristic of early Dutch East India Company coinage issued for circulation in Ceylon. The flat, uniface-style presentation reflects the hammered copper coinage tradition of the period. |
