| Ater the Portuguese arrived in the island in 1506 Sinhalese Kings continued to rule until 1815 but their power | |||||
| and influence over the coastal regions was much reduced. The subsequent internal numismatic history of Ceylon, | |||||
| with Silver Larins (kuku ridi), Panams, and copper Varugam, etc is less well documented as they did not carry the | |||||
| Monarch's name like the massa coins. | |||||
| Some overlap occurs in certain reigns, particularly during the Chola occupation, and the Pandyan Dynasty | |||||
| but the periods have been adjusted to represent the Monarch most likely in control of the island as a whole. | |||||
