Hi, i would like to ask you some help to understand the ruler of this medieval Sri Lanka coin.
To my eyes they look all the same, maybe i must check some particular sign.
Thank you for your help.

Yes, it takes some hunting around in different sites to match the writing. Your coin is a copper kahavanu from Parakrama Bahu II, 1236-1271 AD.

Thanks for all the references, PetrusAscanus. These will be helpful to ID Sri Lankan copper kahavanus in future.
