ABSTRACT
Numerous different Islamic coins have been found in Lanka. Some of them, meanwhile, are hardly notable for the island’s economic history. Although they may have been incorrectly identified as coins, they are either not coins at all or have only ever been discovered in commercial settings. Although several Islamic coins have been discovered in Sri Lanka, it is still unknown if these coins originated there, in India, or in other Muslim world. We are only on solid ground when dealing with Islamic money. The aim of this research is to develop a catalogue of coins with origins that have never before been seen in Sri Lanka and to examine their significance in light of the island’s political and economic history. The complicated religious, political, and economic ties that Sri Lanka had with the Muslim world for many centuries are what have shaped the island nation’s history. As a consequence of these ties, several Islamic coins have been discovered. The under discussion is came from multiple sites excavated by different mission and now on display at three different museums i.e. National Museum Colombo, Archaeological Museum Anuradhapura, Gall Maritime Museums of Sri Lanka and Jaffna Museum were analysis.
