Aside from it being a cleaned coin, I think this is one of the "prettiest" coins I have seen.

My specimen of this coin is both heavily worn and cleaned pink, too. It must be a common fate for these large copper coins.

I assume it says "Ceylon 5 cents". The symbol at 2 o'clock, beneath the C of "cents", is the Tamil numeral five.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

The right side is definitely Sinhala, and probably says the same thing.
