Ceylon / Kandy, Parakrama Bahu II, 1153-1186, AE, Fine ? HELP [opgelost]

I know nothing about this coin or coins like it – a friend wants me to buy it for $12.00 – said I will not regret it. I am not even sure the orientation of the coin is correct in the pictures.
Any help from the members would be appreciated. Thanks Ed

that is a very common value, I paid about €12/ coin

PetrusAscanus : Thank you for that info. I believe I will pass on buying this coin. I am not into these coins - for me it is to hard to learn about all the different ones - but sounds interesting.

perhaps you can do some bussines with Praboth:
