§ 127. Ceylon. — The coins of the Rājas of Kandy, who adopted without any important modification the types of their Cola predecessors, represent a period from 1153 to 1296 A.D. (**Plate V, 15**: Parākramabāhu). Previous to this period the coins circulating in Ceylon have no distinctive character: they are either of the ancient punch-marked pattern or are importations due to foreign commerce or invasion.
