I have several of these coins, glued on a piece of paper, with the names and dates of the coins.
(Yours seems to have been some glue on it)
They are sold to tourist in Sri Lanka.
A lot of replica's do exist

I had a lot of help from Praboth:

Please make a new country for these pre-colonial coins.....

​Sinhala, Lakdiva, both names of the earlier Sri Lanka.
Perhaps both can be sub-namens under Sri Lanka, as Ceylon does.
Can one of the mods take care of this? Thanks
