Comment
The obverse design depicts rock + street as environmental and social characteristics of Kurunegala District.
There are eight very noticeable large rocks that encircle and dominate the city. Kurunegala's rocks rise from the plain below and have characteristic names, six of which come from the animals that they are imagined to represent. The largest among them is Athagala or the “elephant rock”. The shape of Athagala resembles an elephant.
