Here is one Ceylon massa coin of Dharmasokadeva from collection. Sad that i had ovrecleaned it a bit as legends were not readable otherwise......
Comments from experts are sought regarding more on this coin..

Another one from old stock revisited...
Looking at both of them, slight die differences can be observed..
i have already posted this coin earlier but not on this thread. today seeing both coins in hand, due to some die differences observed, i am reposting so as to easily contrast.. please pardon.

No pardon needed ! Putting these two together indeed makes looking at them more interesting.
One can nicely see that the script at this time was slowly diverging from the more Northern Nagari script variant. I think this is most clear in the slightly different calligraphy of the "Sho" character.
