Interesting fact
The 1 Massa - Codaganga coin from the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa (Sinhalese States) is interesting because it was made during a time when the kingdom was transitioning from a tributary state of the Chola Empire to an independent kingdom, and it features a unique blend of Sinhalese and Tamil influences in its design.
