In pre Internet days you used to be able to purchase these what I would call exotic coins for a couple of dollars .Most of the time they were not attributed to a specific ruler or date range. My go to reference was "Price Catalogue of Ancient Coins Of Ceylon by T.M. De Silva Abeywardene published in 1952 41pages, 10plates. The Plates are crude compared to the beautiful photos of the above posters. Prices were outdated. This small paperback has its own charm and served me well as I collected these interesting coins. Kandy got it's name from the anglicized version of Sinhala Kanda Uda Rata (meaning the land on the mountain )or Kanda Uda Pas Rata( The five countries on the mountain).
