| Obverse description | The numeral '12' occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle, denoting the denomination as one-twelfth of a Rixdollar. The circular legend GOVERNMENT * CEYLON surrounds the beaded border, with the inscription distributed around the full periphery of the coin. The engraving is bold and somewhat primitive in style, characteristic of early British colonial copper coinage for Ceylon. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, with the denomination as the dominant visual element. |
